Soap4r and binary

ruby-talk
1

Hi all,

I'm writing what I hope is a relatively simple SOAP server to push files
around. Everything works just dandily for text files, but when I go to
pass binary files around (which is quite necessary to the purposes of my
server), I get an essentially infinite hang.

I've tried base64 encoding it, but it had not perceptible affect.

Anyone have any ideas for how to do this? I'm using
'soap/rpc/driver' and 'soap/rpc/httpserver' for the communication.

Thanks,
Luke

Please see a sample client/server at
