get_url support custom headers

[Andrew Craft]

From what i can see get_url doesn't support specifying custom http headers like the uri module.

What i am trying to do is download some files from the object storage in Softlayer (based on SwiftStack)

1) Customised the softlayer inventory file to include username and apikey as group_vars when generating inventory

2) use uri module to authenticate against object storage and get storage auth token

3) use get_url to download files but need to specify custom header to include token

Am I am correct in saying can't specify custom header in get_url, happy to try and create a patch to support this if this is ok?

thanks

Andrew

It seems to be me (longer-term) we'd benefit from having some modules explicitly for SoftLayer instead as opposed to going through the uri module.

get_url is basically there for easy downloads of web resources.

I think we are open to the idea of having it take a new parameter (try to match up with what uri does, I'd think).

Agree would be nice for some kind of softlayer support but requires a bit more thought and structure for username/keys/authentication end points etc so figured this would be simpler in short term for my needs and still potentially useful for others

Will take a look and see i can put a patch together.
