I found that Soap4r doesn't support GET requests for clients to query the interface. The C# programmer on the other end was helpless and could only ring his hands in despair because he just couldn't use his IDE to "add web reference" (even when I was prepared to send him the WSDL file). In the end I made a micro Rails app and used ActionWebService which worked fine and allowed him to query. Thanks for this tip, I'll check out this API next time I have to go through the nonsense. Man is SOAP overblown though. I went through SOAP hell with Ruby and C# not too long ago. I found that Soap4r doesn’t support GET requests for clients to query the interface.
