In FooController, I put method #bar whose only purpose is to run some
logic in the background and return a status 204 [1].
So in order to return only the 204 status code, I put at the end of
#bar:
render :nothing => true, :status => 204
But then when surfing to /foo/bar, I get an error about “missing
template bar.rhtml”. Is this a bug?
(The solution eventually was render :text => '', but it really seems
like a hack and that render => :nothing should have been the valid
solution)
