XMLRPC beginner confusion,

Hi guys, I'm trying to make a simple XML-RPC chat program in order to
get a bit more used to the interface. My Ruby knowledge is not
great(sadly, its a funky language). So far i did a small program which
does this:

Server:
require "xmlrpc/server"

s = XMLRPC::Server.new(8080)

s.add_handler("hello") do |inputString|
    #inputString is passed from the client point
  system('cls')
  puts "#{inputString}"
    #output the String
  something=gets
    #get a response to send to the client

end

s.set_default_handler do |name, *args|
  raise XMLRPC::FaultException.new(-99, "Method #{name} missing" +
                                   " or wrong number of parameters!")
end

s.serve
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 1. Do i need the s.set_default_handler?(as im not calling that
handler. Is this a part that should be part of the code (like the
default part in a switch statement in C)?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is my Client:

require "xmlrpc/client"

server = XMLRPC::Client.new("127.0.0.1", "/RPC2", 8080)
begin
system('cls') #just cleaning up the console

#the next few lines are just to do an infinite loop over the handler
call.
  a=1
  b=2
  while a!=b do
    puts server.call("hello","#{textInput=gets}")
#calls the handler "hello" on the server and gives it my input and then
outputs the value in the server once a user types something in

  end

rescue XMLRPC::FaultException => e
  puts "Error:"
  puts e.faultCode
  puts e.faultString
end

Question 2. Do i really need the exception catch? I'm not really
talented with exception at the moment.


Point of the code:
Step 1: I boot up the server.
Step 2: I launch the client.
Step 3: on client side, write some text, hit enter,
Step 4: the text appears on server side, then type something on server
side, hit enter and it goes to client side.

This is all great, BUT ONE BIG ANNOYING THING:

This is really the most important part for me.

validation.sls.microsoft.com - - [03/Oct/2011:08:38:44 Romance Daylight
Time] "P
OST /RPC2 HTTP/1.1" 200 149
- -> /RPC2

This is the output everytime the server sends a response to the client.
How can i get rid of this? I understand it must be in one of the files
that i am including. But i cannot seem to find the right part. Anybody
got an idea?
Thanks a million in advance,
Kuznetsov Nikita
