Using HttpConfiguration in ASP.NET Core RC2 - asp.net-web-api

Question

I created an empty asp.net web application project with rc2. My project file is:
{
"testRunner": "xunit",
"dependencies": {
"xunit": "2.1.0",
"dotnet-test-xunit": "1.0.0-rc2-build10025",
"Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
"version": "1.0.0-rc2-3002702",
"type": "platform"
},
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IISIntegration": "1.0.0-rc2-final",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel": "1.0.0-rc2-final",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Cors": "1.0.0-rc2-final",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.ViewFeatures": "1.0.0-rc2-final"
},
"tools": {
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IISIntegration.Tools": {
"version": "1.0.0-preview1-final",
"imports": "portable-net45+win8+dnxcore50"
}
},
"frameworks": {
"netcoreapp1.0": {
"imports": [
"dotnet5.6",
"dnxcore50",
"portable-net45+win8"
]
}
},
"buildOptions": {
"emitEntryPoint": true,
"preserveCompilationContext": true
},
"runtimeOptions": {
"gcServer": true
},
"publishOptions": {
"include": [
"wwwroot",
"web.config"
]
},
"scripts": {
"postpublish": [ "dotnet publish-iis --publish-folder %publish:OutputPath% --framework %publish:FullTargetFramework%" ]
}
}
Now I want to add HttpConfiguration config = new HttpConfiguration(); in my unit test.
But HtppConfiguration is from ASP.NET WEB API 2. How to change my project.json file? Or is there any replacement for it in ASP.NET CORE RC2?

ASP.Core provides an easy way for integration testing using TestServer class. The following may help to start using it:
an ASP.Net Core documentation about integration testing.
a post about using TestServer with example on github.
a TestServerTests.cs file from Hosting repo, that contains xunit tests for TestServer. May help to review, what TestServer can do.
good question on SO: "Why the TestServer (AspNetCore) gives 404 error on static files?"
and keep in mind that a lot of projects in https://github.com/aspnet use TestServer for testing (like Diagnostics ).
