	 * Overwrite to fix issue that it always defaults to POST.

	 *
	 * ### Options:
	 *
	 * - `data` Will be used as the request data. If the `method` is GET,
	 *   data will be used a GET params. If the `method` is POST, it will be used
	 *   as POST data. By setting `$options['data']` to a string, you can simulate XML or JSON
	 *   payloads to your controllers allowing you to test REST webservices.
	 * - `method` POST or GET. Defaults to GET.
	 * - `return` Specify the return type you want. Choose from:
	 *     - `vars` Get the set view variables.
	 *     - `view` Get the rendered view, without a layout.
	 *     - `contents` Get the rendered view including the layout.
	 *     - `result` Get the return value of the controller action. Useful
	 *       for testing requestAction methods.
	 *
	 * @param string $url The url to test
	 * @param array $options See options
	 * @return mixed
