Opensource projects, eh? They make you involve in all sorts of things :) Thanks to the ever unpredictable Lady Luck, Anton Fedorov decided to bring the aforementioned erlsoap library up to date.

So the battle ensued between me and the shiny new 0.4 version of erlsoap. This version decided it didn't like RSDN's webservice. After some fruitful discussion with Anton a new, 0.4.1, version of erlsoap appeared. This version, however, didn't suit qrilka in the least :)) The problem lay with the inets library distributed with Erlang and used by erlsoap. Inets, as it turned out, doesn't support proxy authentication.

So what's a developer got to do? I geared up and went to hunt... ehm... to add support for a more advanced ibrowse library. As a result, I've officially added my first patch to an opensource project which even brought me a mention in the soapclient module in erlsoap's new version 0.4.2.

Now I'm tuly happy :)
