Subject: Help with SOAP

Hi,

I'm trying to write some code to connect to a SOAP webservice. I only
need to call one method: SendMessage (see
http://webservices.xpedite.com.au/xpeditemessaging/faxreach/1-0-0/faxreach.asmx?op=SendMessage).

I've been reading PickAxe but it's pretty thin on this stuff. I've got
the outline of my code done, but am stuck on what arguments to send
the method call.

result = soap.SendMessage(...)

I realise I need to send the arguments along, but how do I send
complex datatypes (in the definition URL above you will see there are
destinations containing recipients etc.). Also, do I need to specify
every parameter or are some optional? Is it possible to query the web
service for this information in Ruby?

Any help would be *greatly* appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Ben
