I’ve been using the Business::FedEx::DirectConnect perl module to  
track and ship packages via FedEx for awhile now.

I’m wanting to convert some of this functionality over to ROR, mostly  
just the package tracking part.

Has anyone successfully tracked a package using the Shipping API out on  
RubyForge?  
It seems like the functionality is there since it’s just another FedEx  
transaction type, there just doesn’t appear to be a defined method for  
package tracking…

Or

Is there something else that I haven’t found that allows you to track  
packages via Fedex in Ruby?

Just wanted to check before I try to get this working.

Thanks!
