Uri module uses CONNECT instead of GET when going through a proxy and fails

[Benoit Tremblay]

I have a problem using uri when behind a proxy.  There is an exception in the python module.
This works well when not going through a proxy.  But fails when a proxy is set.

     - uri: url="http://www.google.com" dest="/tmp/tempfile"

fatal: [h39]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "invocation": {"module_name": "uri"}, "module_stderr": "", "module_stdout": "Traceback (most recent call last):\r\n  File \"/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1456764961.49-135649813587956/uri\", line 2439, in <module>\r\n    main()\r\n  File \"/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1456764961.49-135649813587956/uri\", line 453, in main\r\n    resp, content, dest = uri(module, url, dest, user, password, body, body_format, method, dict_headers, redirects, socket_timeout, validate_certs)\r\n  File \"/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1456764961.49-135649813587956/uri\", line 340, in uri\r\n    resp, content = h.request(url, method=method, body=body, headers=headers)     \r\n  File \"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/httplib2/__init__.py\", line 1609, in request\r\n    (response, content) = self._request(conn, authority, uri, request_uri, method, body, headers, redirections, cachekey)\r\n  File \"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/httplib2/__init__.py\", line 1351, in _request\r\n    (response, content) = self._conn_request(conn, request_uri, method, body, headers)\r\n  File \"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/httplib2/__init__.py\", line 1272, in _conn_request\r\n    conn.connect()\r\n  File \"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/httplib2/__init__.py\", line 916, in connect\r\n    self.sock.connect((self.host, self.port) + sa[2:])\r\n  File \"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/httplib2/socks.py\", line 424, in connect\r\n    self.__negotiatehttp(destpair[0], destpair[1])\r\n  File \"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/httplib2/socks.py\", line 390, in __negotiatehttp\r\n    raise HTTPError((statuscode, statusline[2]))\r\nhttplib2.socks.HTTPError: (403, 'Forbidden')\r\n", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "parsed": false}


When listening on my proxy server, I realized that uri is trying to HTTP CONNECT to google, rather that using GET.  I compared with what wget or curl are doing and both of them are sending GET to the proxy.

Anyone has faced the same issue?

I am using version 2.0.0.1 of Ansible.
The remote node is running ubuntu 14.04.04

I think this is likely fixed in devel/2.1.

The `uri` module previously relied on httplib2.  That dependency has been removed and `uri` now utilizes the shared code from `ansible.module_utils.urls` that `get_url` and many other modules have been using for some time now.
