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
