Hi,

I have a B2B type action in a controller for which an external system hits my site to provide updates.

Quesion - How do I stop my action in my controller trying to perform a render, i.e. to keep my logs clean. At the moment it trys to render but of course there is no page to render.

Tks

Have you tried

render :nothing => true, :layout => false

You can always return false, but I think Chris' way is the official Rails 1.2 way of doing this.

def my_method   ...   return false end
