Hi,

Is there any way with soap4r to see the raw xml of the response without  
turning on the debug mode?

For me at least, my soap scripts work correctly 99% of the time, however  
occasionally they raise exceptions and it would be handy on these cases  
to see the raw xml that is causing the problem. Is there any method I  
can call on the main soap response object to dump the raw xml its using?  
It would be handy to print this out along with the exception in some  
cases.

Thanks,  
Ray

aDriver.wiredump\_dev = STDERR

dumps request/response wiredump to STDERR.

aDriver.wiredump\_dev = str = ‘’  
[…]  
aLogger.info(str)

dumps it to a logfile.

aDriver.wiredump\_file\_base = “/home/nahi/tmp/foo”

writes request/response wiredumps as a specified file.

Hi  
Thanks for the response, is there a way to turn it on after the request?  
I don’t want to log every request/response as this program makes tens of  
thousands of requests daily. Is there a way just to see the  
request/response if an error occurred?

thanks,  
Ray

No, there isn’t. If an error occurred, the response XML is a SOAPFault  
almost always. It should not be what you want, right?
