Certificate validation fails within Vagrant

[benjamen...@dollarshaveclub.com]

Hi,

I'm developing a testing environment for our Ansible playbooks using Vagrant. I'm using ansible 1.7.2 and vagrant 1.6.5.

When I execute a playbook, built-in modules fail SSL certificate validation:

- name: wget phantomjs

  action: get_url

  args:

    url: "{{ phantomjs_archive_download_url }}"

    dest: "{{ phantomjs_archive_download_to }}"

    sha256sum: "{{ phantomsjs_archive_sha256_checksum }}"

  sudo: yes

However if I replace with a manual shell command they work fine:

- name: wget phantomjs

  shell: wget {{ phantomjs_archive_download_url }} -O "{{ phantomjs_archive_download_to }}/{{ phantomjs_archive_name }}"

  sudo: yes

Both machines (the one running ansible-playbook and the controlled VM) are Ubuntu 14.04 and they both have the ca-certificates package installed.

Why would certificates validate successfully using any shell command (wget, httpie, curl, etc) but fail when using ansible modules?
