A hard week at work with SOAP4R (25 sep 10)

More or less got the product delivered

I can't say what it is 'coz it's confidential

Tomorrow (Saturday) I'll go in and write the tests

You're supposed to do that first, but I'm such a crusty old traditionalist I always forget

To make SOAP4R work,  it was necessary to override a method in soap/rpc/router.rb

Some legal SOAP calls, where the XML was all on one line (which is legal) caused an error

Fortunately, it's easy in Ruby to override anything, so I just rewrote the one method, and injected it into Rails
