Answer 1

Using RhinoMocks:

 var httpContext = MockRepository.GenerateMock();
 var httpRequest = MockRepository.GenerateMock();

 httpContext.Expect( c => c.Request ).Return( httpRequest ).Repeat.Any();

 ... set up expectations on request...

 var controller = new MyController();
 controller.ControllerContext = new ControllerContext( httpContext,
                                                       new RouteData(),
                                                       controller );

 ...invoke action, check assertions...

 httpContext.VerifyAllExpectations();
 httpRequest.VerifyAllExpectations();
