Inject JSON file using URI

[Renato Marcandier]

hey guys,

I need to inject a .json file into an application using ansible.
I know that we have a module called URI. However this application accepts only by Content-Type: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" ... in this case, I can't use "src:file.json"  Is that correct? ..

Do I need to create a variable file with all data and pass it using "body: {{ fields }}"?

Thank you

Regards

RG

Not sure - but what combination(s) did you try, and what was the outcome?

The docs indicate that file uploads should be done using 'src':
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/uri_module.html#parameter-src
But you can override headers:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/uri_module.html#parameter-headers

This combination should do what you want.
