get_url: Request failed: <urlopen error (101, 'Network is unreachable')

[diana h]

Hi All, 

I tried to use get_url in playbook.yml to download Elasticsearch package => failed.

But it is OK for me to use wget to download the package. 

What should I do to get get_url works in ansible playbook?

My env:  ansible v1.7.2, running on CentOS release 5.8

[vagrant@machine2]$ ansible-playbook /vagrant/provisioning/playbook.yml --inventory-file=/tmp/ansible_hosts --extra-vars "is_windows=true" --connection=local

Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you using an http proxy by chance? 

export |grep -i proxy

If so, you'll need to tell ansible to use it.  Ansible won't inherit environment variables by default.  Check this link to learn about using proxies with Ansible if that is the case.

Hi James, 

Thanks for your answer that "Ansible won't inherit environment variable by default"

And I will try to use ansible the 'environment' keyword to configure the http_proxy setting. Thanks a lot!
