How to handle INCOMING HTTP/S GET requests in my Rails 4 app

I am implementing SMS paying sistem. User sends message with some code and buys some features on my site.

But to do that I need to handle 2 HTTP/S GET requests and get information from them.

First request is like this :

http://www.yourpage.com/sms/receive.php?sms-id=%sms-id%&operator-id=%operator-id%&from=%from%&to=%to%&text=%text%

How would be easiest way to handle theese requests and based on them make changes in my database ?

SO far I googled "HOW to handle HTTP/S requests in my Rails app" I got zero usefull sources. I got only sources that explains how to make HTTP/S requests but not how to handle them and use.

Is there any suggestion to this problem ?

Thanks in advance!

A Rails controller handles incoming HTTP requests. To generate one, run the following from the command line:
rails generate controller sms receive
This will create an SmsController.rb file with a function named receive. In that function, do something like this:
def receive sms_id=params[:sms_id] ... do something ... end

and I'd recommend learning Rails basics :)
