Module: XMLRPC::Convert

Defined in:
lib/action_kit_api/connection.rb

Overview

This seems silly and dangerous right? Overwriting something in the ruby standard libraries? Well ActionKit is doing XMLRPC wrong. This is almost identical to the Ruby standard library version however it drops the type check on the faultCode and the faultString. The XMLRPC standard indicates that yes the faultCode has to be an integer and faultString has to be a string. ActionKit WILL RETURN A STRING AS THE faultCode.
