= How to run =

1. server setup

  1. setup CGI enabled Web server such as apache httpd.

  2. copy following 3 files to cgi-bin directory at the server.

      stockQuoteService.wsdl
      stockQuoteService.rb
      stockQuoteService.cgi

  3. configure the URL at the bottom of stockQuoteService.wsdl to point the URL
    of the CGI interface.

      ex. http://localhost/cgi-bin/stockQuoteService.cgi
        -> http://localhost/~myname/testcgi/stockQuoteService.cgi

  4. change "#!/usr/bin/env ruby" at the head of the CGI interface to point a
    ruby interpreter you have.

      ex. #!/usr/bin/env ruby
        -> #!/usr/local/bin/ruby

2. client usage

  1. soap4r sample

    run stockQuoteServiceClient.rb with WSDL location.

      ex. $ ruby stockQuoteServiceClient.rb http://localhost/~myname/testcgi/stockQuoteService.cgi

  2. VBA sample

    open stockQuoteServiceClient.xls with Excel.  You need to configure the
    accessing URL in VBA macro.
