How to write test method for the getContent() Method.

How to write test method for the below method: 
public String getCaseURL()
     {
      return (new pagereference('/apex/MyVisualforcepage?id='+camp.id).getContent().toString());
     }
When i try to call this method in my test class. It's giving the following error. 
"Methods defined as TestMethod do not support getContent call, test skipped"

How to cover getContent() method in test class. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks your response Naga !!  However i can't able to implement your workaround. I remember that i tried similar kind of solution earlier, but no luck. Can you simply the solution and tell me how can write in my context as my method is returing string.
