Subject: Problem with Net/HTTP

Hi all,

I am running into a serious problem with a custom library I am building
in Ruby.  Basically I am writing a Ruby interface to a custom web
service that we have here at our company.  The problem I am running into
is that I am posting the XML document to the service and it is
responding, but net/http is telling me there is no body
(response.body.empty? => true).  If I post to the service from a web
form or using PHP I get a response.  This only seems to happen when
there is an error with the request, for example the request is missing
an postal code.  The service returns an XML doc with the errors but
net/http won't let me see it.  A 200 status code is returned and I can
not find no obvious difference between the headers of a successful and
failed request.  I can't even find a way to see the raw response the
net/http received so I can check to see if it is just parsing it
incorrectly.

I am open to any suggestions at this point as this is a big problem if I
can't get this working.  Thanks

Peer
