Hello, I spent hours trying to find a solution to why some basic code that was actually pulled directly from page 630 of the O’Reilly Ruby Cookboook. require ‘soap/wsdlDriver’ wsdl = ‘[http://services.xmethods.net/soap/urn:xmethods-delayed-](http://services.xmethods.net/soap/urn:xmethods-delayed-) quotes.wsdl’ driver = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create\_rpc\_driver puts ‘Stock Price: %.2f’ % driver.getQuote(‘TR’) Why would this not work as expected on a Fedora Core 5 box? I get this error: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:562:in `initialize’: Connection refused - connect(2) (Errno::ECONNREFUSED) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:562:in `connect' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:48:in `timeout’ from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:76:in `timeout' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:562:in `connect’ from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:555:in `do_start' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:544:in `start’ from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/netHttpClient.rb:115:in `start' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/netHttpClient.rb:92:in `post’ from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/streamHandler.rb:170:in `send_post' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/streamHandler.rb:109:in `send’ from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/rpc/proxy.rb:170:in `route' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/rpc/proxy.rb:141:in `call’ from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/rpc/driver.rb:178:in `call' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/rpc/driver.rb:232:in `getQuote’ from soap\_test.rb:17 Its so basic. And yet it seems like there is no one other than myself getting this error. At least I can’t find a single peep from anything on Google. Thanks, Phill ---

The thing that confused me was the non-wsdl version works fine. If I do it like this it will work fine behind our work firewall require ‘soap/rpc/driver’ driver = SOAP::RPC::Driver.new(‘[http://services.xmethods.net/soap/](http://services.xmethods.net/soap/)’, ‘urn:xmethods-delayed-quotes’) driver.add\_method(‘getQuote’, ‘symbol’) puts ‘Stock Price: %.2f’ % driver.getQuote(‘TR’) So that confused me. But I just noticed running through IRB that the WSDL redirects to a different port. We block all ports except for 22, 23, and 80. Thanks for pointing that out. It was driving me crazy trying to make that work. - Phill
