[ansible-project] URI Module fails POST but CURL succeds as shell

[s***@oration.com]

I am getting a connection refused socket error :111 when using get_uri
module for POST of a zip file to a url . If i use curl command on shell the
task runs without error. How can i fix this issue?

What does it show you when you run it in verbose mode?

where is the api running? can you show the curl command that succeeds?
where do you run it from?

The API is running on 10.1.3.163

user: ubuntu
sudo: yes
vars_files:
- vars.yml
tasks:
- name: Run curl
shell: curl --request POST
'http://localhost:9004/api/v1.0/abcd?abcdZipFile=/home/abcd/upload/abcd.zip

It looks like you're missing the port (9004) in the URI call. Which would
make sense because it's getting a "connection refused" socket level error.

Getting closer. 500 is an internal server error. Do you have access to the
server logs? Also, run the playbook with --verbose and set
return_content=yes on the task.

I'd also wrap the url in doublequotes. I'm guess the url string is getting
messed up somehow.

I added the port and tested again. here is the error I get.

Status code 500 is an internal server error which means the application

you're talking had a problem. Might check the logs for the application to
see if it reported why it couldn't handle the request.

I also note that the filename that the uri module is trying to POST is
different from the filename in your curl. That might be a clue as well.
