This is technically feasible now, but it isn't specifically ansible
functionality, instead it is YAML functionality. Here is an example
playbook that displays how this works:
---
- hosts: all
gather_facts: false
vars:
- uri_defaults: &URI_DEFAULTS
url: "http://httpbin.org/get";
method: GET
tasks:
- uri:
<< : *URI_DEFAULTS
status_code: 200
- uri:
<< : *URI_DEFAULTS
status_code: 201
ignore_errors: true
- uri:
<< : *URI_DEFAULTS
url: "http://httpbin.org/status/201";
status_code: 201
This uses YAML aliases, anchors, and merge functionality.
