I don't think this is a thread-safe implementation. If you want to get rid of the send methods in the tests I might recommend a spy that you can later assert on, some kind of UrlAssertHTTPTestClient that would expose the information you want, or possibly extracting the URL construction into a separate object that can be tested in isolation.
Overall, I don't know that it really matters though. There is no behavioral change in this PR. The send method is certainly not a good practice, but it's contained within the test for its class only - so I don't particularly see it as a big problem. Under normal circumstances we might expose this method publicly, but I don't want to make this part of the public API.

It's rewrited with mocks! What do you think now?
Please, don't test private methods via `send`. Use `Minitest::Mock`.

I don't think the elimination of send in these specs is worth the extra work in maintaining and understanding the mocks.

You still end up asserting on the private method call here so I don't see the benefit of this approach. The original spec (w/o the mocks) is easier to read.

As you wish. Mocks is common practice. They're more complex in Minitest than in RSpec, yes.
