Send payload using uri module

[Sharwari Phadnis]

I am trying to send a payload(in JSON) to a destination mentioned in the URL. For this purpose I am using uri module and POST method. How can I send it using uri module? I am using ansible version 1.9.1 and when I tried to use body parameter for uri module it shows the following error: body is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler.

Hi, 

this error usually means problem in indentation, body souhld be two spaces deeper I guess. But cannot be sure, as you have not sent your task here :).

So, to send payload  body parameter could be used?

- hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - uri:
      url: https://url/to/the/dest/server
      method: POST
      user: admin
      password: default
      force_basic_auth: yes
      body: '{JSON payload}'
      body_format: json
      register: payloadop

    - name: Print command output
      action: command echo item
      with_items: payloadop.stdout

Well first of all if you check the module docs http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/uri_module.html you can see that body_format was introduced in ansible 2.0 so you can't use it in 1.9.1

It also shows an example of supplying the json file to the body parameter that looks much cleaner than what you are trying to do:

body: "{{ lookup('file','issue.json') }}"

Have you tried that?

[Sharwari Phadnis]

Yes, I tried that. It worked.

Thanks.
