To see the raw soap xml messages in client side (IE)

You are using SOAP::RPC::Driver as a client, not an IE, right? Then you can set an IO to see a wiredump.

calc = SOAP::RPC::Driver.new(server, 'http://tempuri.org/calcService')
calc.wiredump_dev = STDERR
...

For example;

= Request

! CONNECTION ESTABLISHED
POST / HTTP/1.1
SOAPAction: ""
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
User-Agent: SOAP4R/1.5.4 (/92, ruby 1.9.0 (2005-01-06) [i386-cygwin])

      <rhs xsi:type="xsd:int">2</rhs>
    </n1:add>
  </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

= Response

      <return xsi:type="xsd:int">3</return>
    </n1:addResponse>
  </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

And, you can see wiredumps at server side when you wake your server with ruby + '-d' option.

What I want is to display XML soap message in IE.

I should open a IE window, type a url (e.g. http://192.168.1.2/cgi-bin/testSOAP.rb)

Then get soap message like following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <env:Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<env:Body>

<n1:addResponse xmlns:n1="http://tempuri.org/calcService"

env:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">

<return xsi:type="xsd:int">3</return>

</n1:addResponse>

</env:Body>

</env:Envelope>

Thanks a lot.

What should be "server" in following line:

calc = SOAP::RPC::Driver.new(server, 'http://tempuri.org/calcService') calc.wiredump_dev = STDERR

server=? if I open URL: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/testSOAP.cgi server=? if I open URL: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/test/ server=? if I open URL: http://192.168.1.1:2000/

What should be "server" in following line:

calc = SOAP::RPC::Driver.new(server, 'http://tempuri.org/calcService') calc.wiredump_dev = STDERR

server=? if I open URL: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/testSOAP.cgi server=? if I open URL: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/test/ server=? if I open URL: http://192.168.1.1:2000/

Sorry for late reply.

I still don't understand your point. How do you pass parameters to add method, so that the add method responds addResponse as an int?

I think you should close down this ticket. It seems like the reporter has a difficulty with using CGI scripts in general, not with soap4r specifically. My guess is that he didn't set the wiredump device to STDOUT instead of STDERR, and didn't send appropriate HTTP headers (text/plain), too.
