xml attributes are not returned

[jogaco]

If the ebay API returns

<SellingStatus>
      <BidCount>3</BidCount>
      <BidIncrement currencyID="GBP">0.2</BidIncrement>
...

req[:item][:selling_status] will not contain attribute info.

@jogaco could you post the full XML response? And which version of eBayr are you using? I'll see if I can reproduce it.

I need the currencyID attributes!

Currently using ebayr 0.0.9

[jogaco]

This would probably require an xml parser such as https://github.com/johannesthoma/libxml-to-hash

[bjjb]

The attributes are rarely relevant in an eBayResponse. How about a method (Ebayr::Response#attributes, say) that can reparse the body XML specifically to extract the attributes?

[jogaco]

Maybe it could parse upfront for attributes by passing an optional param in Ebayr::Request#send(with_attributes = nil)

Closing due to lack of activity. Feel free to re-open if this is still an issue for somebody.
