src: description: - Path to file to be submitted to the remote server. Cannot be used with I(body). version_added: '2.7' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin url: description: - HTTP or HTTPS URL in the form (http|https)://host.domain[:port]/path required: true body: description: - The body of the http request/response to the web service. If C(body_format) is set to 'json' it will take an already formatted JSON string or convert a data structure into JSON. If C(body_format) is set to 'form-urlencoded' it will convert a dictionary or list of tuples into an 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' string. (Added in v2.7) dest: description: - A path of where to download the file to (if desired). If I(dest) is a directory, the basename of the file on the remote server will be used. user: description: - A username for the module to use for Digest, Basic or WSSE authentication. method: choices: - GET - POST - PUT - HEAD - DELETE - OPTIONS - PATCH - TRACE - CONNECT - REFRESH default: GET description: - The HTTP method of the request or response. It MUST be uppercase. others: description: - All arguments accepted by the M(file) module also work here HEADER_: description: - Any parameter starting with "HEADER_" is a sent with your request as a header. For example, HEADER_Content-Type="application/json" would send the header "Content-Type" along with your request with a value of "application/json". This option is deprecated as of C(2.1) and will be removed in Ansible-2.9. Use I(headers) instead. creates: description: - A filename, when it already exists, this step will not be run. headers: description: - Add custom HTTP headers to a request in the format of a YAML hash. As of C(2.3) supplying C(Content-Type) here will override the header generated by supplying C(json) or C(form-urlencoded) for I(body_format). version_added: '2.1' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin removes: description: - A filename, when it does not exist, this step will not be run. timeout: default: 30 description: - The socket level timeout in seconds password: description: - A password for the module to use for Digest, Basic or WSSE authentication. client_key: description: - PEM formatted file that contains your private key to be used for SSL client authentication. If I(client_cert) contains both the certificate and key, this option is not required. version_added: '2.4' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin remote_src: default: 'no' description: - If C(no), the module will search for src on originating/master machine, if C(yes) the module will use the C(src) path on the remote/target machine. type: bool version_added: '2.7' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin body_format: choices: - form-urlencoded - json - raw default: raw description: - The serialization format of the body. When set to C(json) or C(form-urlencoded), encodes the body argument, if needed, and automatically sets the Content-Type header accordingly. As of C(2.3) it is possible to override the `Content-Type` header, when set to C(json) or C(form-urlencoded) via the I(headers) option. version_added: '2.0' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin client_cert: description: - PEM formatted certificate chain file to be used for SSL client authentication. This file can also include the key as well, and if the key is included, I(client_key) is not required version_added: '2.4' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin status_code: default: 200 description: - A list of valid, numeric, HTTP status codes that signifies success of the request. return_content: default: 'no' description: - Whether or not to return the body of the response as a "content" key in the dictionary result. If the reported Content-type is "application/json", then the JSON is additionally loaded into a key called C(json) in the dictionary results. type: bool validate_certs: default: 'yes' description: - If C(no), SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to C(no) used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. Prior to 1.9.2 the code defaulted to C(no). type: bool version_added: 1.9.2 version_added_collection: ansible.builtin follow_redirects: choices: - all - none - safe default: safe description: - Whether or not the URI module should follow redirects. C(all) will follow all redirects. C(safe) will follow only "safe" redirects, where "safe" means that the client is only doing a GET or HEAD on the URI to which it is being redirected. C(none) will not follow any redirects. Note that C(yes) and C(no) choices are accepted for backwards compatibility, where C(yes) is the equivalent of C(all) and C(no) is the equivalent of C(safe). C(yes) and C(no) are deprecated and will be removed in some future version of Ansible. force_basic_auth: default: 'no' description: - The library used by the uri module only sends authentication information when a webservice responds to an initial request with a 401 status. Since some basic auth services do not properly send a 401, logins will fail. This option forces the sending of the Basic authentication header upon initial request. type: bool
