Hi Team,

Curl command is working fine on command line shell ,but when running the same command using Ansible shell module it’s throwing error .
The exact issue coming when i am using curl command with multiple parameters (example -i /opt/hosts proxy ) .

Here is my playbook

Output —

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {“changed”: true, “cmd”: “curl -s http://localhost:8095/proxy/healthcheck -i /opt/hosts”, “delta”: “0:00:00.016367”, “end”: “2020-02-06 08:00:08.153617”, “msg”: “non-zero return code”, “rc”: 3, “start”: “2020-02-06 08:00:08.137250”, “stderr”: “”, “stderr_lines”: , “stdout”: "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nDate: Thu, 06 Feb 2020 16:00:08 GMT\r\nContent-Type: application/json\r\nContent-Length: 159\r\n\r\n{"package":"PROXY"

While running the same curl command on linux shell , it’s working fine.

Hi Pawan

You state: "Curl command is working fine on command line shell".
But in fact, it is not working fine, because it exits with error code
3, which (according to
https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) means "The URL was
not properly formatted."
You would have seen that if you didn't suppress the output with the
"-s" (silent) switch.
Running the same command from ansible shell will give exactly the same
result, but ansible is more vocal about non-zero exit codes and hence
will complain.

Remove the "-s" switch and try to manually tweak the curl command so
that it yields something useful (preferably something that cleanly
exits).
Once that works, it will also work in ansible shell/command.
