Hi,

I was trying to run ansible commands influxdb\_database to create and destroy databases and I seeing errors with it.

The ansible command look like this

- name: Destroy database  
influxdb\_database:  
hostname: “{{ ansible\_hostname }}”  
database\_name: jmeter  
state: absent

- name: Create database  
influxdb\_database:  
hostname: “{{ ansible\_hostname }}”  
database\_name: jmeter  
state: present

While running this, I get the error from ansible. If I run the same command from curl, then it works fine. Did anyone see this problem ? BTW, I am seeing this problem recently. Earlier I did not see this problem with the same setup. I think this may be a bug with 1.7.9 version of influxdb. I was working with 1.7.8 earlier.
