Using Net::HTTP to prod google adwords api

Hi,

I’ve been trying to use Net::HTTP with a SOAP (xml) document to query
google adwords api. The reason for wanting to do this, is that I’ve
stumbled across a problem with one of the methods when using
adwords4r. I wanted to eliminate adwords4r and soap4r from the
equation, hence trying to manipulate manually.

I’ve copied the http headers from the output I see when using
adwords4r (code is at bottom of message). Unfortunately, I get a http
302 response rather than the expected xml document.

I’m wondering if there’s anything obvious I’m missing?

Chris

xml = %%

require ‘net/https’
require ‘uri’

url = URI.parse(‘https://sandbox.google.com/api/adwords/v5/InfoService’)
http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host)
http.set_debug_output(STDERR)

request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.path)
request[‘Content-Type’] = “text/xml; charset=utf-8”
request[‘User-Agent’] = “Ruby client”
request[‘Soapaction’] = “""”
request.body = xml
http.start do |sess|
sess.request(request)
end
