If the user types in junk, I’d like to return the user to the original  
page.

Can’t seem to do it. How is this typically handled?

def getBody url  
begin  
open(url) do |file|  
@body = file.read  
end  
rescue SystemCallError  
flash[:notice] = ‘Check failed. This may be a bug but  
its probably just your fault.’  
render :action =\> ‘new’  
###STOP THE BOAT HERE!!!  
end  
end

This seems like a Rails question. You may want to ask on a Rails forum  
instead.
