Hello,

I am trying to run a small test case here and it times out on me all the
time:
Here is my code:

require 'xmlrpc/client'
require 'pp'

applicationName = "Demo AcceptanceTestingApp"
server =
XMLRPC::Client.new2("https://vwtest.oas.psu.edu/isapi/gi.dll/...)
result = server.call("blank","whatever",applicationName)
pp result

The call just times out even though I have other programs in Python, CF
working just fine.
Is there any way to see what ruby sends to the server? I tried using
HTTPAnalyzer, but it captures nothing.
I am wondering if it even sends anythign?

If one side is Linux, try

tcpdump -i eth0 -n -s0 -X tcp port 80

or install wireshark and use that (for a fluffy GUI interface).

If both sides are Windows, you can install wireshark, or its older cousin
ethereal.

HTH,

Brian.

Or:

$ cat xmlrpc_conversation.rb

require 'xmlrpc/client'
require 'yaml'

module XMLRPC
class ConversationSavingClient < Client
attr_reader :conversation
def initialize(*args)
super
@conversation = []
end

def do_rpc(request, async=false)
response = super(request, async)
@conversation << [request, response]
return response
end
end
end

client = XMLRPC::ConversationSavingClient.new('time.xmlrpc.com',
'/RPC2', 80)
client.call('currentTime.getCurrentTime')
puts client.conversation.to_yaml

$ ruby xmlrpc_conversation.rb
---
- - |
<?xml version="1.0"
?><methodCall><methodName>currentTime.getCurrentTime</methodName><params/></methodCall>

- |
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodResponse>
<params>
<param>

<value><dateTime.iso8601>20070305T13:43:22</dateTime.iso8601></value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>

Is that helpful?

HELPFULL!?!! Helpful is not the word. You should be elevated to god-like
status :).
Your solution exposed my embarrasing stupidity and lack of attention
plus it taught me something.
Ruby does force me think harder at stuff and certainly didn't try hard
enough.
Thanks again.

Brian: Yours helped me too. That's how I figured out that there was no
communication except certificate handshake. HTTPAnalyzer isn't able to
capture anything for whatever reason.

Now now, don't be too hasty - I'm only channelling the wonder of Matz :-)

We're all learning here - I don't think there's anything to be ashamed
of in asking a question if you honestly can't see a way through, even if
the answer does look obvious when you see it. Hell, I've done it enough
times...

> Ruby does force me think harder at stuff
That's why I love it :-)

No worries.
