Hello, I need to use Ansible URI and GET\_URL to download a piece of software called amanda backup server. I’m getting trouble with downloading. This is my playbook: - name: Create cookie for later request uri: url: “[https://cdn.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.5.1/Redhat\_Enterprise\_7.0/amanda-backup\_server-3.5.1-1.rhel7.x86\_64.rpm](https://cdn.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.5.1/Redhat_Enterprise_7.0/amanda-backup_server-3.5.1-1.rhel7.x86_64.rpm)” follow\_redirects: all register: stuff\_list - name: Debug debug: msg: “{{ stuff\_list }}” - name: Download amanda software get\_url: url: “[https://cdn.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.5.1/Redhat\_Enterprise\_7.0/amanda-backup\_server-3.5.1-1.rhel7.x86\_64.rpm](https://cdn.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.5.1/Redhat_Enterprise_7.0/amanda-backup_server-3.5.1-1.rhel7.x86_64.rpm)” headers: Cookie: “{{ stuff\_list.cookies }}” dest: /mytest I’m getting below errors: TASK [amanda : Create cookie for later request] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* fatal: [myserver]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “connection”: “close”, “content”: “\\n`AccessDenied`Access Denied13AAEE01DDC4B1B6nc/VbplLWPwS8Z43nTSicEBc+0I7cZcdnSC7XZHUp9zV1bV6ivJhN56nqtTGNOPG95iV5yKnO1Q=”, “content\_type”: “application/xml”, “date”: “Thu, 02 Apr 2020 21:18:00 GMT”, “elapsed”: 0, “msg”: “Status code was 403 and not [200]: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden”, “redirected”: false, “server”: “AmazonS3”, “status”: 403, “transfer\_encoding”: “chunked”, “url”: “[https://cdn.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.5.1/Redhat\_Enterprise\_7/amanda-backup\_server-3.5.1-1.rhel7.x86\_64.rpm](https://cdn.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.5.1/Redhat_Enterprise_7/amanda-backup_server-3.5.1-1.rhel7.x86_64.rpm)”, “via”: “1.1 [b7d10369ae737ec35cf8d7faced56ef0.cloudfront.net](http://b7d10369ae737ec35cf8d7faced56ef0.cloudfront.net) (CloudFront)”, “x\_amz\_cf\_id”: “iOQFt0a3nEBiQp23AZEtTJVDF1WYWqCHSqxPQJjihj02ccKxvlhUNQ==”, “x\_amz\_cf\_pop”: “EWR53-C2”, “x\_cache”: “Error from cloudfront”} Has anyone used URI and GET\_URL to successfully download any software from CloudFront?

This morning I just found my URL is missing .0 in [/Redhat\_Enterprise\_7.0](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.zmanda.com%2Fdownloads%2Fcommunity%2FAmanda%2F3.5.1%2FRedhat_Enterprise_7.0%2Famanda-backup_server-3.5.1-1.rhel7.x86_64.rpm&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEjZAEdUVdeYQJfNAkXZpvhNF_lew) part. Now it is working for me too. Thanks! - Xinhuan
