SOAPTesting

Usage:

To install: 
  gem install httpclient
  
To run:
  create a sample.xml.erb file with the required SOAP body
  if you need to fill some variables do so in the code. In this sample we're only creating two variables:
    nonce (base64 of timestamp)
    wsucreated (now at UTC)
  ruby soaptest.rb <URL>
  
Enjoy!
