Subject: Reading web service resposes in chunks?

I am making a web service call and getting back very large responses
(sometimes 5gb). When I get this response it eats all of my RAM. I need
to read the response in chunks so I can store it in a file and I have no
idea how to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is my code:


require 'soap/wsdlDriver'

soap = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new("some url").create_rpc_driver
soap.wiredump_file_base = "soapfile"

response = soap.GetWhatever(:whatever => "whatever)


Ironically, when reading the response it doesn't dump it into the file
until it gets the entire response into memory, this is what's killing my
server. Is there a more efficient way of doing this?

Thanks for your help and time.
