Inputs

    
src:
    description:
    - Path to file to be submitted to the remote server.
    - Cannot be used with I(body).
    type: path
    version_added: '2.7'
    version_added_collection: nsocwx.custom_modules

url:
    description:
    - HTTP or HTTPS URL in the form (http|https)://host.domain[:port]/path
    required: true
    type: str

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)
    - If C(body_format) is set to 'form-multipart' it will convert a dictionary into 'multipart/form-multipart'
      body. (Added in v2.10)
    type: raw

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.
    type: path

mode:
    description:
    - The permissions the resulting filesystem object should have.
    - For those used to I(/usr/bin/chmod) remember that modes are actually octal numbers.
      You must give Ansible enough information to parse them correctly. For consistent
      results, quote octal numbers (for example, V('644') or V('1777')) so Ansible receives
      a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. Adding a leading
      zero (for example, V(0755)) works sometimes, but can fail in loops and some other
      circumstances.
    - Giving Ansible a number without following either of these rules will end up with
      a decimal number which will have unexpected results.
    - As of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, V(u+rwx)
      or V(u=rw,g=r,o=r)).
    - If O(mode) is not specified and the destination filesystem object B(does not) exist,
      the default C(umask) on the system will be used when setting the mode for the newly
      created filesystem object.
    - If O(mode) is not specified and the destination filesystem object B(does) exist,
      the mode of the existing filesystem object will be used.
    - Specifying O(mode) is the best way to ensure filesystem objects are created with
      the correct permissions. See CVE-2020-1736 for further details.
    type: raw

force:
    aliases:
    - thirsty
    default: false

    type: str

owner:
    description:
    - Name of the user that should own the filesystem object, as would be fed to I(chown).
    - When left unspecified, it uses the current user unless you are root, in which case
      it can preserve the previous ownership.
    - Specifying a numeric username will be assumed to be a user ID and not a username.
      Avoid numeric usernames to avoid this confusion.

    aliases:
    - attr
    description:
    - The attributes the resulting filesystem object should have.
    - To get supported flags look at the man page for I(chattr) on the target system.
    - This string should contain the attributes in the same order as the one displayed
      by I(lsattr).

      with the GSSAPI env var C(KRB5CCNAME) that specified a custom Kerberos credential
      cache.

    choices:
    - form-urlencoded
    - json
    - raw
    - form-multipart
    default: raw
    description:
    - The serialization format of the body. When set to C(json), C(form-multipart), or
      C(form-urlencoded), encodes the body argument, if needed, and automatically sets
      the Content-Type header accordingly.

unsafe_writes:
    default: false
    description:
    - Influence when to use atomic operation to prevent data corruption or inconsistent
      reads from the target filesystem object.
    - By default this module uses atomic operations to prevent data corruption or inconsistent
      reads from the target filesystem objects, but sometimes systems are configured or
      just broken in ways that prevent this. One example is docker mounted filesystem
      objects, which cannot be updated atomically from inside the container and can only
      be written in an unsafe manner.
    - This option allows Ansible to fall back to unsafe methods of updating filesystem
      objects when atomic operations fail (however, it doesn't force Ansible to perform
      unsafe writes).
    - IMPORTANT! Unsafe writes are subject to race conditions and can lead to data corruption.
    type: bool
    version_added: '2.2'
    version_added_collection: ansible.builtin

return_content:
    default: false
    description:
    - Whether or not to return the body of the response as a "content" key in the dictionary
      result no matter it succeeded or failed.
    - Independently of this option, if the reported Content-type is "application/json",
      then the JSON is always loaded into a key called C(json) in the dictionary results.
    type: bool

validate_certs:
    default: true
    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).

follow_redirects:
    choices:
    - all
    - 'no'
    - none
    - safe
    - urllib2
    - 'yes'
    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.
    type: str

force_basic_auth:
    default: false
    description:
    - Force the sending of the Basic authentication header upon initial request.
    - 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.
    type: bool

unredirected_headers:
    default: []
    description:
    - A list of header names that will not be sent on subsequent redirected requests.
      This list is case insensitive. By default all headers will be redirected. In some
      cases it may be beneficial to list headers such as C(Authorization) here to avoid
      potential credential exposure.
