I am using respond_to in one of my actions to render html, rss, or atom
based on the http request. This is what my code looks like:
respond_to do |wants|
wants.html
wants.rss { render_rss_feed_for @ideas, options }
wants.atom { render_atom_feed_for @ideas, options
end
It works perfectly, but looking at the logs, this action is called 3
times

Anyone know why this is happening? Shouldn’t it only process the
controller
once depending on the “format” param of the request? This is a
development
machine so I know a RSS reader is not requesting the action.
