Isn't the service a kind of "logging-in with user/passwd to get a session
token then passing the token with all methods", is it?

When the service uses http-cookies as you mention, you must use http-access2
instead of net/http (net/http does not support http-cookies as a first class),
and must call some internal method (not out-of-box support for now).

What version are you using?

1. ruby/1.8.1 + bundled soap module
2. ruby/CVS HEAD + bundled soap module
3. soap4r/1.5.2
4. soap4r/CVS HEAD

Yes.  Or simply create a new driver.
