I'm trying to use Savon to send requests to a webservice. The service I'm consuming requires nested namespaces, and I haven't figured out yet how to provide them on a request.
I've tried to craft the request by hand (with nokogiri, actually) and send the resulting xml:
client.call(:some_op, :message=>{:"op"=>"<elem/>"})
But savon escapes the string and sends <elem/>
How can I send raw xml without escaping?
The call should look like this:
client.call(:some_op, xml: "<elem />")
Or if you just want to set one or multiple namespaces then create a client as follows (without WSDL):
client = Savon.client(
:endpoint => 'http://www.example.com',
:namespace => 'urn:core.example.com',
:namespaces => { 'ns1' => 'http://v1.example.com',
'ns2' => 'http://v2.example.com' },
:log => true,
:log_level => :debug,
:pretty_print_xml => true
)
The namespaces are a Hash parameter.
<Envelope><Body><SomeOp>.... Is there a way to retain it?

tns) and another for all the fields inside the message (a). I've managed to retain the message namespaces on responses with :strip_namespaces=>false on the client, but I can't figure out how to send the namespace definitions on a request - the request locals documentation doesn't seem to mention namespace options

It looks like Savon internally uses the Gyoku Gem to convert ruby hashes to XML, and Gyoku will not escape hash keys ending with exclamation marks according to the documentation: https://github.com/savonrb/gyoku#special-characters
So this code works to get raw XML into the request while still using Savon to generate the envelope xml:
client.call(:some_op, :message=>{:"op!"=>"<elem/>"})
