Topic: Soap working in irb not in console

Hello,

I am trying to consume some web service based on soap.
I started with some tests with irb (ruby 1.8.7) and they worked perfectly.
When I try the exact same test in the rails console (rails 2.1.2) it is not working and I get the following error

soapi = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver
RuntimeError: Cannot connect to https://www.ovh.com/soapi/soapi-re-1.54.wsdl (Not HTTP.)
  from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/netHttpClient.rb:145:in `create_connection'
  from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/netHttpClient.rb:113:in `start'
  from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/netHttpClient.rb:104:in `get_content'

  from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/wsdlDriver.rb:124:in `import'
  from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/wsdlDriver.rb:28:in `initialize'
  from (irb):17:in `new'
  from (irb):17

Any idea why?
Thanks
Nicolas

Re: Soap working in irb not in console

This smacks of an ssl issue (You are using https and it looks like the SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory is complaining that it's not http) but I'm not sure why that may be.
Possibly missing ssl library/gem of some description in your app?

What you want and what you need are too often not the same thing!

Re: Soap working in irb not in console

Re: Soap working in irb not in console

To understand the solution first you must narrow down/  eliminate the suspected causes
Try to prove if it's an ssl issue. Use an http address.
If http works then at least you have a starting point.

Re: Soap working in irb not in console

Hello, I had tried also but http is not working either and this script works

require 'soap/wsdlDriver'
  
  wsdl = 'https://www.ovh.com/soapi/soapi-re-1.54.wsdl'
  soapi = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver

  #login
  session = soapi.login(account, psw, 'fr', false)

  #accountSummary
  @result = soapi.telephonySmsCreditLeft(session, user)
  puts @result

  #logout
  soapi.logout(session);
  puts "logout successfull"

but the same code in my rails app controller doesn't

I'm sorry, without being able to see the stack traces, error logs etc... I'm at a total loss.

Re: Soap working in irb not in console

Hello James,

In fact you may be right and it could be ssl related. Part of my tests I installed savon which raised a ssl error

I found this monkey patch monkey patch which could be related to my problem.

I'll try to figure out how to use it and come back here for report

Re: Soap working in irb not in console

I digged a little bit more and check the url class provided and in fact irb (ruby) considers it at URI::HTTPS where rails thinks its URI::Generic (a case not tested in soap/netHttpClient.rb)

Any idea why is that?
