Can I send rendered .html to somewhere besides the web serve

Rails
1

Is there any way to tell Rails to send the .html file it renders
somewhere other than the web server? I need to save a page to the
server’s file system instead of sending it to the user’s browser.

Thanks!
Bill

Hi Bill,

This is from a recent post to this list:

@render = render :action => controller.action_name
outf = File.open(Time.now + “.html”,“w”)
outf.puts @render
outf.close

I guess after that you can do whatever you want with outf …

cheers
Martin
