Subject: Best method to use TCPSocket

Hello,

I'm having an issue getting an expected response via TCPSocket.  My goal
is to connect to a remote controller device and access XML data.

The following code properly authenticates a connection, however I am not
getting the response I expect.

CODE USED:

require "socket"

#set proxy server
host = "host" #removed specifics
port = "port"  #removed specifics

#set parameters for send message
user = "XXX" #removed specifics
pass = "XXX" #removed specifics
mac = "XXX"  #removed specifics
limit = 10
start_time = "20100910_120000"
end_time = "20100910_123000"

#format the send message required
message = "User: #{user}
           Pass: #{pass}
           MAC: #{mac}
           Limit: #{limit}
           Start: #{start_time}
           End: #{end_time}
           Finish"

#open TCP socket
s = TCPSocket.open(host, port)

#send the message to controller
s.write(message)

#read and print the response (specify number of bytes)
xml = s.recv(1000)
puts xml

#close the socket
s.close

This code outputs:
"api.heliodyne.com at your service, [draker.labs]"


However, the manufacturer is showing the XML that I should be able to
access in his debug file

"SensorQueryReader] constructBean            Finish
2010-09-15 13:57:06,473 DEBUG [Thread-18837]

Any ideas why I'm not able to see the outputed XML like shown in the
debug message?   Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Adam
