I've notice a few places where people have asked whether Ruby On Rails supports the consumption of web services. Rails itself doesn't. I have found the easiest thing to use is SOAP4R, which according to its web page comes bundled with Ruby 1.8.3 and above.
SOAP4R is really easy to use, it simply generates Ruby stubs from a WSDL which will call the web service for you. You just call the stubs as though they were a Ruby API.
If you have ever used any Java or .NET web service clients, it is pretty much the exact same concept.
