Hi. How can I get peeraddr (client hostname and ipaddress) in a simple  
server like the following? Thanks.

#!/usr/bin/ruby --debug  
require ‘soap/rpc/standaloneServer’  
PS = ‘passphrase’  
class MyClass  
…  
end  
class Server \< SOAP::RPC::StandaloneServer  
def on\_init  
Pq = MyClass.new  
…  
end  
end  
svr = Server.new(‘Pq’, PS, ‘0.0.0.0’, 4241)  
trap(‘INT’) { svr.shutdown }  
svr.start

Or, how can I enable WEBrick debug level logging? Now I see INFO  
messages only. Thank you for your help.
