Ruby, SOAP and a Date

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

If you need to send a date parameter to a Web Service using Ruby and SOAP:WSDLDriver then be sure to use the DateTime object. I just spent two mind-numbing hours trying to figure out why it wouldn’t accept my param.

e.g.

dateToUse = DateTime.civil(2005, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
soapResponse = soap.GetNewTagsSince(:sinceDate => dateToUse)
