Reading
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0/libdoc/xmlrpc/rdoc/XMLRPC/Client.html#method-c-new3
makes me believe that the host is the FQDN of the host, not the
"protocol://FQDN". Thus,
ruby -e 'require "xmlrpc/client"; client = XMLRPC::Client.new3({ "host"
=> "machine.example.com", "path" => "/rpc/api" }); sys_ver =
client.call("api.systemVersion"); puts sys_ver;'
5.5.0
works just fine for me. Reading the same page reveals that
XMLRPC::Client.new_from_uri("http://machine.example.com/rpc/api";);
works as well, should you prefer to work with URIs. And with the
VERIFY_NONE mode, it even works with https.
