When I’m trying to use a webservice provided by a .NET server from a  
ruby client I get the following error when calling the method:  
Server was unable to process the request - The message must contain a  
wsa:To header.

How can I instruct ruby to add this header? My code currently looks like  
this:

## factory = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(url) soap\_client = factory.create\_rpc\_driver soap\_client.Method({:arg1 =\> 1, :arg2 =\> 2})

Hi, thanks for your reply. I tried adding that header, in fact I had to  
try to add the whole addressing header bit from the ws specifications on  
Microsofts site. It still didn’t work. One question I have is how do you  
add xmlns:wsa=“whatever” to the soap tag to tell it the wsa namespace?

Eventually I gave up, as the product I’m using provides a soap 1.1  
webservices bit as well, which provides less features, I used that  
instead. I’ll wait until ruby fills in this type of header  
automatically.
