Hi  
I am trying to use the uri module to connect to my cloud providers API’s

curl commands work fine:

`curl -i -X POST https://api.madrid.gigas.com/token -d 'login=apiuser&password=apipswd' -H 'Accept: application/json'`

``

`curl -v -i -X GET https://api.miami.gigas.com/virtual_machines -H "Authorization: Gigas token=apitoken" -H 'Accept: application/json'`

tasks:

- uri:  
url: [https://api.miami.gigas.com/token](https://api.miami.gigas.com/token)  
method: POST  
body: “login=user&password=pass”  
HEADER\_Content-Type: “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”  
status\_code: 200  
return\_content: yes  
register: login

- uri:  
url: [https://api.miami.gigas.com/virtual\_machines](https://api.miami.gigas.com/virtual_machines)  
method: GET  
return\_content: yes  
HEADER\_cookie: “{{login.set\_cookie}}”

output from Ansible:

msg: Status code was not 200

FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

Anyone any ideas?

I have tried different combinations of the ansible yaml files, but nothing seems to work for me… Generally end up with the same error.

Someone already asked the same thing after 4 months and got no response.  
So asking again after 6 years will almost certainly not get you a  
response either.  
Start a new question with your own data/logs/etc instead of  
resurrecting ancient threads.
