Subject: SOAP4R?

Dear all,

I tried to send "Hello World" msg via SOAP4R , the reason why I used 
SOAP4R is to get the XML as an output. I found that the XML is not 
generated the correct output. I wonder where I did wrong in my program? 
Sorry I am really newcomer to Ruby any references should be good, 
because it's really hard learning ruby since there is not much 
documentation available on the net.

cheers,
Wilmar

  end

  def retrieve_row
      print 'Content-type: text/html\n\n'
      puts 'Hello World'
  end

end
