Description manuel wolfshant 2016-08-31 17:42:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
get_url fails to retrieve files from some ftp servers

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ansible-2.1.1.0-1.el6.noarch


How reproducible:
always, with some servers ( pureftp in my case )

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a playbook with:
      get_url: url=ftp://internal.domain.tld/linux/distributions/centos/6/custom.repo dest=/etc/yum.repos.d

2. play the playbook

Actual results:
fatal: [wolfy]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "dest": "/etc/yum.repos.d", "failed": true, "gid": 0, "group": "root", "invocation": {"module_args": {"backup": false, "checksum": "", "content": null, "delimiter": null, "dest": "/etc/yum.repos.d", "directory_mode": null, "follow": false, "force": false, "force_basic_auth": false, "group": null, "headers": null, "http_agent": "ansible-httpget", "mode": null, "owner": null, "regexp": null, "remote_src": null, "selevel": null, "serole": null, "setype": null, "seuser": null, "sha256sum": "", "src": null, "timeout": 10, "tmp_dest": "", "url": "ftp://internal.domain.tld/linux/distributions/centos/6/custom.repo", "url_password": null, "url_username": null, "use_proxy": true, "validate_certs": true}, "module_name": "get_url"}, "mode": "01777", "msg": "Request failed", "owner": "root", "response": "OK (unknown bytes)", "secontext": "system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0", "size": 12288, "state": "directory", "status_code": null, "uid": 0, "url": "ftp://internal.domain.tld/linux/distributions/centos/6/custom.repo"}     

Expected results:

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2016-09-02 23:11:05 UTC 
So, I take it you would like us to carry the patch until it lands upstream? 

If the maintainer acks it we should hopefully be able to get it into 2.2 which is due out mid month last I heard...
Comment 2 manuel wolfshant 2016-09-03 09:18:09 UTC 
If the new version is due to arrive "soon", patching the current one is probably a waste of time ( lack of previous bug reports make me believe that the user base of affected people is very small... and I've already patched mine ).

If the opposite is true then yes, please add the patch. And last but not least if the new upstream version does not include this fix then by all means, yes, the patch MUST be included by Fedora & EPEL as otherwise <"msg": "OK (unknown bytes)"> breaks usage of the playbooks that make use of get_url.
Comment 3 manuel wolfshant 2016-09-03 12:28:06 UTC 
Forgot to mention: I'll be glad to help in any way possible, including for instance actually patching or testing any [scratch] build.
Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2016-09-03 16:20:57 UTC 
Great, all sounds reasonable to me. I'll see what I can do to get it merged upstream before the next release. 

Perhaps Toshio (already cc'ed) could take a look?
Comment 5 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2016-09-08 20:05:38 UTC 
Merged upstream to both the stable-2.1 branch and devel.  We're planning another rc of 2.1.2 so it should make that. (and 2.2.0 is now in feature freeze).
