SOAP? Why would you use that?
I am using Ruby Enterprise Edition and Rails 3 to write my web application. The application uses Ustream's Watershed white label broadcasting services to provide live streaming for my users. Unfortunately I have hit a snag during development. Watershed allows an application to provide it's own authentication layer through the implementation of a SOAP service on the application side of things. This authentication layer must be implemented in SOAP 1.2 to work with Watershed. To my great dismay, it seems that the Ruby community has moved on past ye'old SOAP towards a brighter future filled with REST and Unicorns.I am using Ruby
