Rails - Jan 2006 - Calling a SOAP service from within a Rails controller

The following works fine as a standalone ruby program:
**********************************************************************************************
t = Time.now
starter = Time.local(t.year,t.mon, t.day) + (24 *3600)
ender = starter + 7 * 24 *3600
lat = 40.352039
lon = -74.191961

require ''soap/wsdlDriver''

params = {:maxt => false, :mint => false, :temp => true, :dew =>
false,
  :pop12 => false, :qpf => false, :sky => false, :snow => false,
  :wspd => false, :wdir => false, :wx => false, :waveh => false,
  :icons => false, :rh => false, :appt => true}

wsdl =
"http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl"
drv = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver
drv.wiredump_dev = STDOUT if $DEBUG
dwml = drv.NDFDgen(lat, lon, ''time-series'', starter, ender,
params)
puts dwml
require ''xsd/mapping''
data = XSD::Mapping.xml2obj(dwml).data
**********************************************************************************************
However, when I try to call the same from within a ruby controller, I get:

SOAP::HTTPStreamError in Weather_map#data

 502: Bad Gateway


The code in my controller is:
**********************************************************************************************
       def get_weather
		lat = params[:lat]
                lon = params[:lon]

		t = Time.now
		starter = Time.local(t.year,t.mon, t.day) + (24 *3600)
		ender = starter + 7 * 24 *3600
	
		params = {:maxt => false, :mint => false, :temp => true, :dew =>
false,
	  		:pop12 => false, :qpf => false, :sky => false, :snow => false,
	  		:wspd => false, :wdir => false, :wx => false, :waveh => false,
	  		:icons => false, :rh => false, :appt => true}
	
		wsdl =
"http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl"
		drv = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver
		drv.wiredump_dev = STDOUT if $DEBUG
		dwml = drv.NDFDgen(lat, lon, ''time-series'', starter, ender,
params)

		@data = XSD::Mapping.xml2obj(dwml).data	

	end

Did you try grabbing this file with a web browser, wget, curl, open- 
uri, etc.?  Sounds like there could be a problem with the remote server.

Also, it looks like you''re going to be downloading the WSDL every  
time your controller runs.  I''d download the WSDL and put it  
somewhere in your app so that you aren''t having to wait for that file  
every time.

Yes I did, works fine within both a web browser, or as I stated
before, within a standalone ruby program.

The error occurs within the SOAP call, only when a rails controller is
the client.

OK, thanks, I will do that. but I''m more concerned with the error with
SOAP call, here is the stack trace:

SOAP::HTTPStreamError in Weather_map#data
502: Bad Gateway
RAILS_ROOT: ./script/../config/..
