Sending json to webservice not working

Archives Ansible Project

hey all,

I have the following variables:

vars:
  tutum_tags:
     - { "name": "web" }
     - { "name": "redis" }
     - { "name": "memcached" }

And the following task:

- name: Main | Parsing tutum tags
  set_fact:
    tutum_tags_json: "{{ tutum_tags|to_json }}"

- name: Debug supplied tags
  debug: msg="Set supplied tags - {{ tutum_tags_json }}"

- name: Main | Adding tags to new tutum agent
  uri:
    url: "{{ tutum_host ~ ' api/v1/node/' ~ tutum_agent_uuid ~ '/' }}"
    method: PATCH
    HEADER_Authorization: "{{ tutum_api_header }}"
    HEADER_Content-Type: "application/json"
    status_code: 201
    body: "{{ tutum_tags_json }}"

However it’s giving me this wonderful error:

TASK: [tutum-ansible-role | Main | Adding tags to new tutum agent] ************
failed: [default] => {“failed”: true, “parsed”: false}

What’s weird about it is that i’m actually sending a json string and NOT a list. I cannot use body_format since we are using Ansible 1.9.3 and not 2.x.

Does anybody know how i can fix this?
