Savon HTTPS Request with HTTP authentication


I have written an integration with a SOAP API using savon. I am running into issue which seems to be only with certain OSs. The reason I say that is because the same code works on CentOS6 and MacOSX but it refuses to work with Ubuntu12.04. The code I'm using is:

@client = Savon.client do
  wsdl "mywsdl"
  basic_auth ["username", "password"]
end

@client.call(:set_session_parameters, message: {viewSettings: {rollingPeriod: "Today", shiftStart: "25200000", statisticsRange: "CurrentDay",timeZone: -21600000}})

The error I get back is:

Like I said on other OSs the code works fine. Is there something that I need to install to make this work on Ubuntu12.04?

It is definitely not a username and password error seeing as an exact replica works on another OS.

Any help with this issue would be appreciated. Thanks!


Solution

  • The issue was with the HTTP client that HTTPI was using. For some reason HTTPCLIENT isn't working for what I need. So I just gem uninstall httpclient.

    After that HTTPI automatically picks up net_http which works like a champ!
