Can not get the PSVX.msi by win_get_url

Hi,

I am trying some windows modules.

My test environment below :
- Control machine : CentOS 6.6 x86_64 , Ansible version : v2.0.0
- Remote machine : Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

I found the win_unzip module document then I tried the following.

# Install PSCX to use for extracting a gz file
  - name: Grab PSCX msi
    win_get_url:
      url: 'http://download-codeplex.sec.s-msft.com/Download/Release?ProjectName=pscx&DownloadId=923562&FileTime=130585918034470000&Build=20959’
      dest: 'C:\pscx.msi'
  - name: Install PSCX
    win_msi:
      path: 'C:\pscx.msi'
  - name: Unzip gz log
    win_unzip:
      src: "C:\Logs\application-error-logs.gz"
      dest: "C:\ExtractedLogs\application-error-logs"

However , I saw that the win_get_url failed to get PSCX.msi.

to C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\pscx.msi"}

I could get other file from another web site by win_get_url. Also when
I use a browser to get this file on remote machine, it was success.
Could you give me some advice?

Hello,

I resolved by myself for this problem.
I have tried two workarounds.

I found that a win_get_url is not supported authentication http proxy.
( I use authentication http proxy of my office )
After I modified to add authentication http proxy by manual for the
win_get_url.ps1 file I can success to run this modules.
Also , there is problem in
"http://download-codeplex.sec.s-msft.com/Download/Release?ProjectName=pscx&DownloadId=923562&FileTime=130585918034470000&Build=20959&quot;
, this module got the top download page for .exe". Therefore , I
created an another download url.
