savon HTTPI POST EOFError: end of file reached

Question

I tried to use the SOAP service using savon v2.0.3 and its throwing error which I am not able to debug.

I have the following code

client = Savon.client(wsdl: $APP_CONFIG["billing_url"])
response = client.call({{method_name_in_symbolic_form}}, message: {:numbers => "50608289"})

I get the url from config file and its correct and the method_name_in_symbolic_form method also exist.

Now this produce error as shown below:

Answer 1

Even I had a similar problem solved it by setting HTTPI adapter to net_http.

  HTTPI.adapter = :net_http

Answer 2

You can try "rest-client". I think it should work.
