Hi,

Can https\_proxy be set on a per-host basis for e.g,

[nodes]  
[NFL-00053.abc.com](http://NFL-00053.abc.com) ansible\_ssh\_port=16385 ansible\_ssh\_host=localhost https\_proxy=[http://192.168.101.1:3128](http://192.168.101.1:3128)

This doesn’t seem to work.

The https\_proxy looks like needs to be setup as an environment variable in a playbook.

environment:  
https\_proxy: “{{ https\_proxy }}”

But then this would apply to all hosts…

Can environment section be generated per-host from the inventory script?

I’m using ansible 2.3

thanks a lot for any guidance  
Suresh

It wont since the https\_proxy variable is only set on that one host.

Normally it should fail on host that don't have the variable https\_proxy set, but if you test you'll see that it works.  
If this is a feature or a bug I do not know
