Or:

$ cat xmlrpc_conversation.rb

require 'xmlrpc/client'
require 'yaml'

module XMLRPC
   class ConversationSavingClient < Client
     attr_reader :conversation
     def initialize(*args)
       super
       @conversation = []
     end

     def do_rpc(request, async=false)
       response = super(request, async)
       @conversation << [request, response]
       return response
     end
   end
end


client = XMLRPC::ConversationSavingClient.new('time.xmlrpc.com', 
'/RPC2', 80)
client.call('currentTime.getCurrentTime')
puts client.conversation.to_yaml

$ ruby xmlrpc_conversation.rb

                 </params>
         </methodResponse>


Is that helpful?
