Authenticate with http headers with savon 2.3.0 - ruby

Question

I had this code in Savon v1:
client = Savon.client("http://www.server.com:9191/soapserver?wsdl")
service = client.request :get_authentication do
client.http.headers["username"] = "myuser"
client.http.headers["password"] = "mypass"
end
After the update to savon v2.3.0, I don't manage to retranslate. It should be something like
client = Savon.client do
wsdl "http://www.shab.ch:9191/soapserver?wsdl
end
service = client.call(:get_authentication, {username: "myuser", password: "mypass"})`
but the line service = client.call(..." does not work. Any idea?

Answer 1

I think what you want to do is:
gem "savon"
require "savon", "~>2.0"
...
client = Savon.client(headers: { username: "user", password: "password"},
wsdl: "http://www.example.com/?wsdl",
log: true,
log_level: :debug,
pretty_print_xml: true
#, and more options here if necessary)
That will inject the key/values pairs into the http headers.

Answer 2

That last code block of yours is missing a " on line #2 and has a ``` too much in the end. It should look like:
client = Savon.client do
wsdl "http://www.shab.ch:9191/soapserver?wsdl"
end
service = client.call(:get_authentication, {username: "myuser", password: "mypass"})
to not trigger any syntax errors.

Answer 3

This works for me after a lot of trial and error:
client = Savon.client( wsdl: "http://www.server.com:9191/soapserver?wsdl", <\br>
headers: {'username' => 'myuser', 'password' => 'mypass'} )
service = client.call(:get_authentication)
So the header injection I do before calling the :get_authentication function.
