Jim,


It might be illustrative to run this whole thing through some kind of 
proxy and watch the interaction.  There's a nice utility that comes with 
the Apache SOAP implementation (in Java) called TcpTunnelMonitor.  If 
you download the latest Apache SOAP from here 
http://xml.apache.org/dist/soap/version-2.2/ you can start the program 
like so:
java -classpath soap.jar org.apache.soap.util.net.TcpTunnelGui 80 
www.yourserver.com 80

Then, you can run your ruby programming, hitting localhost instead of 
www.yourserver.com.  You'll see all of the data sent and received in 
each post/get on a nice GUI.

If you've already got Java, it's not too much of a pain.
