Hello,

I’m making a query to a soap server, and I cant figure out how to get  
at the XML response. Using:

soap.wiredump\_dev = STDOUT

Prints the XML to STDOUT. I need to figure out how to get this XML  
into either a file or an input stream that can then be parsed to get  
hold of the useful information. There dont seem to be any methods of  
SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory that allow me to do this though. Any tips?

Cheers,

---

WSDLDriverFactory#create\_rpc\_driver returns a general Driver. So you  
just can do;

soap = WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create\_rpc\_driver  
soap.wiredump\_dev = STDOUT
