I have a task in my main.yml

- name: download and extract binary installer  
unarchive: src=[https://www.aescrypt.com/download/v3/linux/AESCrypt-GUI-3.10-Linux-x86\_64-Install.tgz](https://www.aescrypt.com/download/v3/linux/AESCrypt-GUI-3.10-Linux-x86_64-Install.tgz) dest=/tmp copy=no

When I run this I get the following error:

TASK: [common | download and extract binary installer] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
failed: [localhost] =\> {“failed”: true}  
msg: Source ‘[https://www.aescrypt.com/download/v3/linux/AESCrypt-GUI-3.10-Linux-x86\_64-Install.tgz](https://www.aescrypt.com/download/v3/linux/AESCrypt-GUI-3.10-Linux-x86_64-Install.tgz)’ does not exist

I know that the URL is valid and using “copy=no” with a URL for src is the documented use: [http://docs.ansible.com/unarchive\_module.html](http://docs.ansible.com/unarchive_module.html)

Any idea how I can get around this error?

try latest devel, there was a bug in unarchive that did not let copy=no work.
