XMLRPC::DateTime from AWS

Rails
1

When I do an XMLRPC webservice call to retrieve a single Product, my
DateTime fields in the products table do not get converted to a valid
DateTime value, but remain as XMLRPC::DateTime structures.

So, say my webservice call is:

@product = @aws.get_product(1)

Then my @product object looks like this:

name: My product
last_updated: #XMLRPC::DateTime:0x37c5338
description: This is my product.
unit_cost: 110.0

So, all values come through, but my DateTime value looks like the above.
It doesn’t seem to be converted.

Incidentally, it all works well when I use SOAP.

Any ideas anybody? Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

P.S. I am using DateTime fields on a MySql database.

I think this might be a bug in Rails.

This patch seems to have fixed it, except, I suspect it fixed it for
when I am returning a date on its own, but if the datetime is inside a
returned ActiveRecord object, then it fails.

Is this something I need to report as a bug? Or has somebody got his
functionality working?
