Hello everyone,

I found a bug in the get\_url module of ansible. It comes down to it failing to verify the SSL certificate when the port is part of the supplied URL (`[https://host:4443/path/to/something](https://host:4443/path/to/something)`).

I filed a github issue and a proposed patch which works for me in [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/10924](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/10924)

Let me know if you need any additional details.

Regards,
