<div dir="ltr">Thanks. After testing your one-liner and finding it working (to a degree, more on that in a minute) I moved the hash key/values into the new3 call directly instead of passing "params" as the argument.<div>

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