respond_to and format

Hello!

I use a "format" parameter in my application for internal calculations. But Rails catches it and uses for view name. I mean, if I go to url: myapp.com/foo/?format=xml Rails tries to show me index.xml.erb view, but I don't want this! I want the application to continue showing index.html.erb template. How can I do this?

Thanks :slight_smile:

wrong url? check "myapp.com/foo.xml"

No, no, the task was exactly reverse. I want to see normal html template (and not xml), but if I pass "format=xml" as a query parameter, Rails will try to display xml template (which doesn't exist) How to avoid this? I want html to be displayed always and don't depent on query parameters.
