> Why do you need to terminate a request early? Is this an HTTP request?
By "request" I meant "controller action". Within a method called by the controller action, I want to render something and then prevent the controller action from continuing any further (otherwise I'd get a double-render error, and/or the controller would make changes to the database state which I don't want it to). I am aware of before_filter. but in this case I will have gone quite a long way into the controller action logic before it's known that I need to terminate this particular request. It doesn't divide neatly into "pre-condition check" and then "do stuff". I thought I had seen somewhere that there was a way to terminate a request early, but I could be thinking of a different framework. In Sinatra you can 'throw :halt, response'.
