URI for testing web redirect

Archives Ansible Project

hello,

I want to test if web redirect works first without making public. curl equivalent would be

curl -LI --header 'Host: www.example.com' 'http://localhost'

uri module seems to be perfect for this but struggle with headers parameter for ‘Host’ header.

Task created

`

  • name: Test redirect
    uri:
    url: http://localhost
    method: GET
    headers:
    Host: “www.example.com”
    status_code: 200,301,302
    follow_redirects: all
    timeout: 10
    register: webpage
    `

and this is error message I receive:

fatal: [ansible]: FAILED! => {"cache_control": "no-cache,no-store", "changed": false, "connection": "close", "content": "Error: Bad request. Hostname in the Host header is not sa", "content_length": "57", "content_type": "text/html", "msg": "Status code was not [200, 301, 302]: HTTP Error 400: Bad Rquest", "pragma": "no-cache", "redirected": false, "status": 400, "url": "http://127.0.0.1"}

Obviously something not right with header but also not sure about url. Any hint would be greatly appreciated. I could do work around by creating temporary record in /etc/hosts but really would like to try the more elegant way if possible.
