Hi, all-- Rails'' controllers redirect_to method (actually, redirect_to_url) sets a instance variable called to @performed_redirect instance variable to true to indicate a redirect was already performed and that no further processing is required. However, the render_text method, which is ultimately called whenever an action is rendered, doesn''t check whether redirection has already been performed and overwrites the status header if none was passed to it. Since redirects can happen anywhere in the processing chain, including within filter methods, shouldn''t it check the code? Or am I missing something here? Cheers! Ronaldo Ferraz
