I'm currently using RSpec2, Cucumber and VCR (via WebMock), and everything's working great.

With VCR normally all requests are recorded and then replayed against the recorded cassettes.

Now I want to allow real web requests in some scenarios:

• In Cucumber, I've setup a "live" profile which runs any test tagged with @live. For these tests – and these tests only – I'd like to allow real web requests.
• I want from time to time run the tests against the real api and ignore the recordings

You can do this with cucumber's Before and After hooks. Just disable VCR using something like this:

Before('@live') do
  VCR.eject_cassette
  VCR.turn_off!
end

This may be dependent on exactly how you are integrating VCR with your cucumber tests though.
