Subject: Error calling a SOAP service from within a Rails controller

The following works fine as a standalone ruby program:
**********************************************************************************************
t = Time.now
starter = Time.local(t.year,t.mon, t.day) + (24 *3600)
ender = starter + 7 * 24 *3600
lat = 40.352039
lon = -74.191961

require 'soap/wsdlDriver'

params = {:maxt => false, :mint => false, :temp => true, :dew => false,
  :pop12 => false, :qpf => false, :sky => false, :snow => false,
  :wspd => false, :wdir => false, :wx => false, :waveh => false,
  :icons => false, :rh => false, :appt => true}

wsdl = "http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl"
drv = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver
drv.wiredump_dev = STDOUT if $DEBUG
dwml = drv.NDFDgen(lat, lon, 'time-series', starter, ender, params)
puts dwml
require 'xsd/mapping'
data = XSD::Mapping.xml2obj(dwml).data
**********************************************************************************************
However, when I try to call the same from within a ruby controller, I get:

SOAP::HTTPStreamError (502: Bad Gateway):
    c:/ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/streamHandler.rb:200:in `send_post'
    c:/ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/streamHandler.rb:109:in `send'
    c:/ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/rpc/proxy.rb:170:in `route'
    c:/ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/rpc/proxy.rb:141:in `call'
    c:/ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/rpc/driver.rb:178:in `call'

    c:/ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/wsdlDriver.rb:117:in `NDFDgen'

The code in my controller is:
**********************************************************************************************
       def get_weather
                lat = params[:lat]
                lon = params[:lon]

                t = Time.now
                starter = Time.local(t.year,t.mon, t.day) + (24 *3600)
                ender = starter + 7 * 24 *3600

                params = {:maxt => false, :mint => false, :temp =>
true, :dew => false,
                        :pop12 => false, :qpf => false, :sky => false,
:snow => false,
                        :wspd => false, :wdir => false, :wx => false,
:waveh => false,
                        :icons => false, :rh => false, :appt => true}

                wsdl =
"http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl"
                drv = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver
                drv.wiredump_dev = STDOUT if $DEBUG
                dwml = drv.NDFDgen(lat, lon, 'time-series', starter,
ender, params)

                @data = XSD::Mapping.xml2obj(dwml).data

        end
