Rails - Jul 2006 - ActionWebService Struct member name including ''-''

Hi

I am tryng to mirror a locked away, secure web service for testing 
purposes and am almost there. Hoever as part of the definition for the 
structure of the call to the webservice, I have this struct.

class MyCall < ActionWebService::Struct
    member :username, :string
    member :password, :string
    member :"remote-ip", :string
end

However this does not work... Should :"remote-ip" be a valid member 
name?

I get the following syntax error

SyntaxError ((eval):1:in `member'': compile error
(eval):1: parse error, unexpected ''-'', expecting
''\n'' or '';''
          def remote-ip; @remote-ip; end

I can make the call OK (as below)

server = XMLRPC::Client.new2("http://127.0.0.1:3001/api/checkNumber")
result = server.call("IsValid", 
{:username=>"user",:password=>"pass",:"remote-ip"=>request.remote_ip},@formattedNumber)

You will notice I have to use :"remote-ip" instead of :remote-ip. This
is because of the ''-''. The XML is sent  perfectly fine and I
can see the
remote-ip in the sent XML, but it''s NOT in the raw posted information.

Web Service Request: IsValid(param0=>#<MyCall:0x2414e90 
@password="pass", @username="user">,
number=>"+00000000")

AWS requires all struct''s members to be a valid ruby identifier.

Not for AWS'' purposes.  Just use a mock object for testing purposes,
instead, or use Ruby''s internal web services servers for your testing.
