Not able to connect to Yahoo server using XML-RPC client

Hi All,

I want to test my client code to connect to the yahoo server using XML-RPC.


Below is my Client code to connect to Flicker service implemented in yahoo using API "flickr.groups.search".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
require "xmlrpc/client"

# Make an object to represent the XML-RPC server.
server = XMLRPC::Client.new2( "http://api.flickr.com/services/api/")

# Call the remote server and get our result
result = server.call("flickr.groups.search","f9163a092be90899ca376899dd5b92a8","api","5").inspect
if result
    puts 'Hey, it worked!'
  else
    puts 'Back to the drawing board...'
  end 

puts result
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 I could not able to connet to server and throwing error like:
