Hi,

I am trying to print the return values from the get_url module using the yaml code below:

  • name: connect to server and download file
    get_url:
    url: http://10.0.0.2/file1.html
    register: all_data

  • name: print time it took to transfer file
    debug:
    var: all_data

However, it always fails with the following error:

TASK [connect to server and download file] ***************************************************************
fatal: [node1]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Unsupported parameters for (get_url) module: register Supported parameters include: attributes, backup, checksum, client_cert, client_key, content, delimiter, dest, directory_mode, follow, force, force_basic_auth, group, headers, http_agent, mode, owner, regexp, remote_src, selevel, serole, setype, seuser, sha256sum, src, timeout, tmp_dest, unsafe_writes, url, url_password, url_username, use_proxy, validate_certs”}

How do i get the return values for the module?

thank you

The problem is that you have register indented one level too far. It needs to be indented to the same level as name and get_url. It is not an argument for the module.
