Xmlrpc question

Hi,

Using ruby's xmlrpc, how can I view the XML that's being generated by
XMLRPC::Client.call and the XML that's being returned from XMLRPC
server?

Thanks,
Joe

Aha, XMLRPC::Marshal.dump_response does the trick...

Now I'm looking for a way to nicely display XML (with linebreaks and whatnot)

Or, with XML Starlet[1]:

ruby myxmloutput | xml fo

And, one of my favorite IRB recipes:

irb(main):001:0> require 'net/http'
irb(main):002:0> url = 'http://example.com/some.xml&#39;
irb(main):003:0> xml = Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse(url))
irb(main):004:0> IO.popen('pbcopy', 'w') { |io| io.write(xml) }

pbcopy puts text in the clipboard on OS X. Cygwin has a similar command called getclip. Not sure what's available for Linux. Its pretty durn handy though!
