Items, Widget, and Gears controller spec examples

controller_specs.rb

# Client required that *all* routes for controllers are covered and 
# do not allow guest access.
#
# There are several other controllers that, for guest test coverage,
# are identical to the Items Controller spec below
# Note: there are several non-CRUD methods; destroy makes a record
#       inactive; there is no record removal revealed via the API (client's request)
