I miss the ‘backup’ parameter in the ‘get_url’ (working in the same manner as ‘backup’ in the ‘copy’ module) so I wanted to extend the module myself.
I checked the code of get_url.py and copy.py and before changing I added:
`
backup=yes
`
to the playbook. To my surprise playbook did not fail. If I changed the parameter name to something other it stopped with:
`
msg: unsupported parameter for module: backupdest
`
What am I missing? Is there some “global” check for parameters outside of individual modules?
