Hello all.

I have a program that has a thread serving up an client API using  
XMLRPC::Server. Up to this point, I have been happy letting it log  
eveything to stdout. However, as I move forward, I want to combine  
every log event in my program into a single log file. I am using the  
Logger class for eveything else in the program, but I cannot find a  
way to tell XMLRPC::Server to use it. I know that XMLRPC::Server  
creates a WEBrick::HTTPServer internally, and that is the object doing  
the logging. Is there a way to get at that WEBrick’s “:Logger”  
parameter?

Any ideas?

Thanks,  
~james

Did you ever solve this problem? I’m just trying to figure out how to  
turn off the WEBRick server logging altogether.
