Hello,

I’m trying to use Ruby to control a UPNP device (mostly list,  
map/foward and delete ports). By analyzing the UPNP packets, i’ve  
discovered it uses SOAP. So, that leads me to SOAP4R which only has a  
sample directory inside a tarball and no more explanation.

Any ideas on where to find such doc, or API doc, or tutorials, or even  
_explained_ examples? Also, i’d would be interested to hear from  
someone that already fiddled around with upnp+ruby.

Regards,

Ricardo Amorim

Soap4r is famous as there’s little document. Sorry about that.
