When trying to create a handler to access a SOAP server in an embedded ruby file (.rhtml) I am unable to get anything done unless I decrease the safe level for ruby to 0. The code is the following: <% require 'soap/wsdlDriver' require 'soap/rpc/rpc' require 'cgi' require 'logger' log = Logger.new(STDERR) log.info $SAFE file = 'QBXMLRemote.wsdl' soapFactory = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(file) soap = soapFactory.create_rpc_driver connectString = soap.openConnectionAndBeginSession 'u', 'p' , '', 'someName', '', 'multiUser' puts connectString %> When it runs at $SAFE = 1 I get the following stack trace: [Wed Jun 21 09:06:45 2006] [error] mod_ruby: error in ruby [Wed Jun 21 09:06:45 2006] [error] mod_ruby: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:1283:in `initialize': Insecure operation - initialize (SecurityError) [Wed Jun 21 09:06:45 2006] [error] mod_ruby: from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:1283:in `create_socket' [Wed Jun 21 09:06:45 2006] [error] mod_ruby: from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:1252:in `connect' [Wed Jun 21 09:06:45 2006] [error] mod_ruby: from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:56:in `timeout' [Wed Jun 21 09:06:45 2006] [error] mod_ruby: from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:76:in `timeout' [Wed Jun 21 09:06:45 2006] [error] mod_ruby: from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:1251:in `connect' [Wed Jun 21 09:06:45 2006] [error] mod_ruby: from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:1111:in `query' [Wed Jun 21 09:06:45 2006] [error] mod_ruby: from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:833:in `query' [Wed Jun 21 09:06:45 2006] [error] mod_ruby: from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:383:in `do_get_block' [Wed Jun 21 09:06:45 2006] [error] mod_ruby: ... 9 levels...

I'm geussing that perhaps when I load the external .WSDL file it is marked as tainted? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
