Hi, I’m working on an application where some of the business logic is accessible with SOAP. I’ve used SOAP4R to generate everything and it works splendid (I use http-access2 since we require https). Anyway, a week ago, this stopped working, for no reason I can figure out. But it just stopped working on my dev machine, not on our production\_test server or anything. I’m sitting on Windows 2003, and the stack trace looks like this: Bad file descriptor - connect(2) (, #0) d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:1391:in `initialize' d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:1391:in `create\_socket’ d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:1352:in `connect' d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:56:in `timeout’ d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:76:in `timeout' d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:1351:in `connect’ d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:1209:in `query' d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:892:in `query’ d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:434:in `do_get_block' d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:370:in `conn\_request’ d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:285:in `request' d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:264:in `post’ d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/streamHandler.rb:170:in `send_post' d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/streamHandler.rb:109:in `old\_send’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/lpw/lpw.rb:11:in `send' d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/rpc/proxy.rb:170:in `route’ d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/rpc/proxy.rb:141:in `call' d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/rpc/driver.rb:178:in `call’ d:/programming/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/rpc/driver.rb:232:in `getUserData' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/address_information.rb:25:in `fetch’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/models/lpw\_object.rb:23:in `fetch' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/lpw_controller.rb:110:in `addr’ d:/Programming/Ruby/bin/mongrel\_rails:18 I would be very thankful for any help coming to terms with this. ## Regards Ola B.

The monkey patching looks like this: module SOAP class HTTPStreamHandler alias :old\_send :send def send(endpoint\_url, conn\_data, soapaction = nil, charset = @charset) ret = old\_send(endpoint\_url,conn\_data,soapaction,charset) if ret.receive\_string =~ /._?(\).\*?/m ret.receive\_string = $1 end ret end end end and the reason that is is necessary can you find here: > **[Rails, SOAP4R and Java.](http://ola-bini.blogspot.com/2006/08/rails-soap4r-and-java.html)** > > I've spent the last three weeks working part time on a project called LPW at work.

I think “Bad file descriptor - connect(2) (, #0)” is caused by TCPSocket.new(“0.0.0.0”, 0). “0.0.0.0” and 0 is a default value of accessing Site representation in http-access2. Site is used for representing 1) destination http server and 2) http proxy server. And for now, with regard to 1), there’s no suspicious part.

Can you add $log = Logger.new(“http-access2.log”) at the beginning of http-access2.rb and $log.debug(site) around Site object? I’ll send monkey-patched-http-access2.rb if you want. > > Hmm.

Suffice to > say, there was noise before \ maybe), and what looked like the complete PDF sent attached after (the > same data contained in a byte-array inside the SOAP-response) Sure. “noise before XML” and “noise between XML and PDF” are the point. It may be a standard format which soap4r have not yet supported.
