Hi,

I have created ruby scripts using wsdl2ruby.rb (v1.5.8) from the Betfair  
service.

ruby \ruby\bin\wsdl2ruby.rb --type client --wsdl  
[https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl](https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl)

When I try to run the generated client, it fails with a “service not  
found” message,  
which then breaks the xmlparser.  
The first wiredump shows the generated XML request.

When I try to do the same thing with SOAPBITS or WEBSERVICESTUDIO, it  
works fine.

But there are some clear differences between the two XML request strings  
(note lines with “envelope” in them), and my knowledge is  
far too small to comprehend what is going on, and I’m about to give up.

Can anyone out there suggest a way that I can move forward with this  
please ?  
Is this a wsdl2ruby.rb bug or am I not doing something correctly ?

Regards,  
Tad
