I am writing code to setup an AWS Server. I am able to test all the  
values accurately using web\_service\_scaffold :test, but when I try to  
connect by creating an XML-RPC client i am getting a timeout error =  
execution expired

I am using delegated dispatching

web\_service\_name: update\_shipping  
method\_name: update\_product\_status

I am trying to test the function by implementing an XML-RPC client to  
connect with my web service

server =  
XMLRPC::Client.new2(“[http://localhost:3000/shipping/update\_shipping](http://localhost:3000/shipping/update_shipping)”)  
result = server.call(“UpdateProductStatus”, “packship”, “test”, 1, 2,  
“product\_pickedup”)

puts result

I am wondering if there is anything else I need to do to be able to  
connect with this service. Does my local firewall have anything to do  
with it not being able to connect. Again the service works perfectly by  
going through the AWS test scaffold
