Rails : Return a custom HTTP Response

Hi everyone,

I'm using a payment module from Paybox. This module is a CGI script that I execute like a shell command with backticks :

`#{Rails.root}/public/cgi/modulev3.cgi [params]`

This module outputs a complete HTTP response, including headers and body :

Content-type: text/html
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store
Pragma: no-cache

<HTML>
   <HEAD> ... </HEAD>
   <BODY> Here goes a secured form that is automatically posted to the payment provider server </BODY>
</HTML>

The problem is that Rails handles automatically the construction of the response. I know that I can customize the Headers, but since the module builds an entire HTTP response from scratch, I'd like to send it to the browser as is.

I used this payment module on a PHP / Codeigniter project and it was straightforward. No use of a view, and directly from the controller :

echo shell_exec(PAYMENT_MODULE_PATH .$config_string);

How can I do the same and bypass Rails views / response handling ?
