Ruby SOAP
Example code:
require 'soap/wsdlDriver'
driver = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new("http://lyricwiki.org/server.php?wsdl").create_rpc_driver
lyrics = driver.getSong(artist,song).lyrics
[edit]
Issues
- Incorrect conversions
- The ruby SOAP implementation does strange things to characters outside of ASCII. Currently the SOAP service returns lyrics encoded in ISO-8859-1 (Latin1). The lyrics are correctly encoded in Latin1, however ruby tries to do an encoding assuming a different encoding and therefore messes up the character encoding.
- Non-latin characters
- Characters that are not defined in ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) are returned from the server as question marks (?).
- Artist names that use characters not in Latin1 are not retrieved at all.
