Hello,
I have a WebService that I need to connect to and add content via POST
method. It accepts content in the form of
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded". I am using JSON formatted body and I
tell Ansible to use form-urlencoded body format. I do not get any error,
the response code is 200, but the content does not get posted to the
WebService. Meanwhile, I use the exact same JSON file in a Postman
software, again I set it to use form-urlencoded format. and the Postman
posts the content to the WebService fine. I am missing something in Ansible
and I cannot figure out what. Can you please help?
[root@ansible ~]# python --version
Python 2.7.5
[root@ansible ~]#
[root@ansible ~]# ansible --version --quiet
ansible 2.7.5
