ActionController::Integration::request_via_redirect does not preserve headers over redirects

#1707

ActionController::Integration::request_via_redirect does not preserve headers over redirects:

  def request_via_redirect(http_method, path, parameters = nil, headers = nil)
    send(http_method, path, parameters, headers)
    follow_redirect! while redirect?
    status
  end

The call to 'follow_redirect!' is not provided with the original headers, so instead default headers are provided. This is problematic for requests that set an explicit 'Accept' header so that respond_to will act appropriately.
