Hi, I have written a playbook which runs a bash script. The script imports a ndjson kibana dashboard that i had previously exported and saved.  
Here is the command

curl -X POST “_Reverse\_PROXY\_IP/kibana_/api/saved\_objects/\_import?createNewCopies=true” -H “Content-Type: application/x-ndjson” --form file=@./dashboard.ndjson -u name:pwd

When i run this command directly without the playbook it successfully executes. But with the playbook i am getting the following erro

The full traceback is:  
NoneType: None

This thing worked previously using the playbook. With the current setup the only difference is that ansible machine also has apache on it which acts as reverse proxy for kibana machine which only has a private IP. Please Help!
