Sending XML requests

tashfeen.ekram · February 13, 2010, 7:14pm

I was wondering if there is something built into rails that helps in
making XML requests to a third aprty website? Any recommendations for
gems that help with this?

What about ordinary SOAP requests? Is Net::HTTP the way to go for
that?

Thanks.

Take a look at ActiveMerchant’s code; specifically the commit method in
the module

github.com

activemerchant/active_merchant/blob/master/lib/active_merchant/billing/gateways/paypal/paypal_common_api.rb

module ActiveMerchant #:nodoc:
  module Billing #:nodoc:
    # This module is included in both PaypalGateway and PaypalExpressGateway
    module PaypalCommonAPI
      include Empty

      API_VERSION = '124'
      API_VERSION_3DS2 = '214.0'

      URLS = {
        :test => { :certificate => 'https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/2.0/',
                   :signature   => 'https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/2.0/' },
        :live => { :certificate => 'https://api.paypal.com/2.0/',
                   :signature   => 'https://api-3t.paypal.com/2.0/' }
      }

      PAYPAL_NAMESPACE = 'urn:ebay:api:PayPalAPI'
      EBAY_NAMESPACE = 'urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents'

      ENVELOPE_NAMESPACES = { 'xmlns:xsd' => 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema',
