Hello there,

I would like to get config of the Radware alteon vadc through Rest API.  
Since I want to access directly without using vdirect, I inialized a module.  
But the fact is I don’t know the tree being the api in order to get alteon configuration.

here the part of the connection module

def get\_config(module):

host = module.params [‘host’]  
username = module.params [‘username’]  
password = module.params [‘password’]

userAndPass = b64encode(b"username:password").decode(“ascii”)

headers = { ‘Authorization’ : ‘Basic userAndPass’ }  
urllib3.disable\_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

session = requests.get(“https://”+host"/config", headers=headers, verify=False)

Issue : I got an issue while testing the code like :  
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: (‘Connection aborted.’, BadStatusLine(“‘’”,))

Thanks in advance for your help
