I'm guessing you're using Cucumber with Rails. Cucumber step definitions (when used with Rails) run in an instance of Rails' ActionController::IntegrationTest. If you read that API you'll see that the #response method gives you access to what you need. If you haven't used WebRat, I strongly recommend you check it out. It's a thin DSL on top of ActionController::IntegrationTest that Cucumber supports out of the box. It lets you write steps on the HTML level rather than the HTTP level.
