SOAP and HTTP Basic Auth

ruby-talk
1

Hi folks,
I want to access a WSDL/SOAP resource that's protected by HTTP Basic Authentication. I currently get 401 errors when I try to access it. Searching the source code for the soap module in the stdlib seems to indicate that it supports it, but the module is undocumented and I can't figure out where to specify my username and password. Can anyone who's familiar with the soap module (NaHi?) point me in the right direction?

Please CC me on your reply.

Tim.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. I don't check ruby-talk too much recently...

There's a sample in test/soap/test_streamhandler.rb (it should also be
in sample directory).

drv = SOAP::RPC::Driver.new(...)
drv.options["protocol.http.basic_auth"] << ["http://foo/bar&quot;,
"username", "passwd"]
drv.service(...)

Just ignore if it's too late. Apologize again.

Is there any way to initialize WSDLFactory with a wsdl file protected
by basic authentication?
