sapwas for Ruby and HTTPS

sapwas for Ruby now enables SAP Web Services to be called via HTTPS. This first requires you to setup SSL support in NW4 - which isn't too much trouble if you follow Gregors' excellent advice here. Once that is in place, then it is just a matter of structuring the URL coorectly, as described in this example:

require "SAP/WAS"

@was = SAP::WAS.new(:url => "https://seahorse.local.net:8443/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/Z_RFC_READ_REPORT_01",
                    :lang   => "EN",
                    :client => "010",
                    :user   => "developer",
                    :passwd => "developer",
                    :trace  => true)

# get a list of users
irep = @was.RFC_READ_REPORT
irep.program.value = 'SAPLGRAP'
irep.call()
puts "qtab no rows are: #{irep.qtab.rows.length.to_s}"
puts "qtab rows are: #{irep.qtab.rows.inspect}"

sapwas fully integrates with sap4rails as an alternative driver for accessing either RFCs or SAP SOAP based Web Services, and is available here.
