Hi all

We’re trying to get a file from a server in a playbook:

`

- win\_get\_url:  
url: [https://some.domain.com/test.txt](https://some.domain.com/test.txt)  
dest: D:\test.txt  
url\_username: xxxxx  
url\_password: xxxxx  
skip\_certificate\_validation: yes  
validate\_certs: no  
use\_proxy: no  
force: yes

`

This fails with the failure **SSLHandshake: Unsupported curveid: 29**  
We changed to the following, and now it works:

`

- name: Get release  
win\_shell: |  
$headers = @{}  
$headers.Add(“Authorization”, “Basic redacted”)  
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri “[https://some.domain.com/test.txt](https://some.domain.com/test.txt)” -Headers $headers -OutFile “test.txt”

`

Where is **win\_get\_url** losing the plot?

Regards,  
Jean

if you run the same playbook with win\_get\_url but with -vvvv what is the output?

The error message is somehow different than what it originally was, but the output I’m getting from -vvvv (Jean posted on my behalf) is still similar which is the following:

`

Are you running Ansible from Bash on Ubuntu on Windows?

Yes, using WSL.
