I’m a noob when it comes to soap so forgive me if the solution is  
completely obvious: I’m trying to implement a basic soap call like so

```
namespace = 'country.asmx?WSDL'
url = 'http://www.webservicex.net/'

begin
   driver = SOAP::RPC::Driver.new(url,namespace)
   driver.add_method('GetCurrencies')
   puts driver.GetCurrencies
rescue => err
   puts err.message
end

```

but whenever I run it I get: " 405:method not allowed " the wsdl is as  
follows:

```
<wsdl:operation name="GetCurrencies">
  <soap:operation

```

soapAction=“[http://www.webserviceX.NET/GetCurrencies](http://www.webserviceX.NET/GetCurrencies)” style=“document”  
/\>  
wsdl:input  
\<soap:body use=“literal” /\>  
\</wsdl:input\>  
wsdl:output  
\<soap:body use=“literal” /\>  
\</wsdl:output\>  
\</wsdl:operation\>

Someone let me know what I’m doing wrong. Please understand I’ve not  
done anything soap related before.

soap4r only does WSDL 1.1 and doesn’t do 2.0 IIRC…

Not sure if it’s the culprit but I’ve run into this  
last year.
