If your HTTP call is using the POST verb you could alternatively use request.raw_post to retrieve the contents sent in the request's body.

Hope it helps!

The following should print the body of the request

routes.rb

map.connect 'account/:action', :controller => 'accounts'

accounts_controller.rb

class AccountsController < ApplicationController
  def postback
    puts request.body.read    
  end
end
