Rails - Jun 2005 - redirect_to external link from controller suppress layout

I have a payment screen where a user clicks a PayPal button, goes to
my controller where I create an object and then forward them on to
PayPal. It works using this:

  url = PAYPAL_URL << "?" <<
post_params.join("&")
  redirect_to url
  render_without_layout

But I get a layout not found error because (I believe) control
navigates away before the render call is made. It actually works fine
from the browser''s point of view, but I do get an error generated in
the log and I''m guessing there''s a way to do this more
cleanly.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tom

You could use redirect_to_url(url) as well.  That might nullify the  
need to render_without_layout also.

Aha, perfect, thanks Duane. I''d seen in rails trac that
redirect_to_url would be deprecated in favor of the using the shorter
form, which would be smart enough to act appropriately. But I guess
you lose the smart render suppression if you do that without using
edge rails.

Thanks!

I''m fairly sure you don''t need the 
"render_without_layout" ...

The redirect will be sent to the browser and so the render will attempt
to write to a closed connection
