The two are equivalent, but really we want to check the HTTP result that got
returned to the channel, not the code that the Request object *intended* to
return to the channel.
The root resource isn't necessarily a JsonResource, so rename this method
accordingly, and update a couple of test classes to use the method rather than
directly manipulating self.resource.
