Subject: trying to make a soap request

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to a webservice which is only "documented" by
its wsdl. So far I have the following code:

require 'soap/wsdlDriver'
server=SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new('http://people.epfl.ch/wsdl/PeopleWS.wsdl')
driver=server.createDriver
driver.wSgetProfiles(["147980"])
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/wsdlDriver.rb:448:in `wSgetProfiles'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/wsdlDriver.rb:448:in `wSgetProfiles'
        from (irb):7

I don't know whether the wsdl is accessible from outside, so I've
copied it at the end of the email.

I can't figure out what the two arguments that it is asking for are.
From what I understand, it's asking for a list of strings. Is this a
problem with ruby-understanding or with wsdl understanding?

Greg
