Hi I’m trying to set up a Soap service in rails without any luck. The  
service is password protected i have tried so far to do the following:

soap\_client =  
SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(“[http://myserver:8080/xplanner/soap/XPlanner?wsdl](http://myserver:8080/xplanner/soap/XPlanner?wsdl)”)

soap\_client.options[“protocol.http.basic\_auth”] \<\< [WSDL\_URL, user,  
password]  
driver = soap\_client.createDriver

and

soap\_client =  
SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(“[http://user:password@myserver:8080/xplanner/soap/XPlanner?wsdl](http://user:password@myserver:8080/xplanner/soap/XPlanner?wsdl)”)

all i get is a time out error the url is correct, if I copy the same url  
in firefox i get the wsdl

Any ideas

Thanks
