Often, I find myself wanting to write a unit test for a portion of code that accesses HTTP resources as part of its normal function. Have you found any good ways to write these kinds of tests?

Extract the part that accesses the HTTP resources out of your main code. Create an interface for that new component, In your test, mock the interface and return data that you can control reliably.
You can test the HTTP access as an integration test.
