HI. I've been trying to deploy a war file to the Tomcat manager using the uri module. I've been able to use curl from the command line to achieve this but I can't seem to translate it into an ansible task that uses the uri module. I could just use the shell module and insert the curl command I've been using but I want to stick to best practices and use a module if one if available.
Anyway here's the curl command that works (ran from my workstation): curl -k -X PUT -u $TOMCAT_USER:$TOMCAT_PW --upload-file someapp.war "https://$SERVER:8443/manager/text/deploy?path=/someapp&update=true"; And here's the latest attempt at an ansible task: - name: Push war to Tomcat manager uri: url: "https://{{ inventory_hostname }}:8443/manager/text/deploy?path=/someapp&update=true" src: /opt/someapp.war' # tried this instead of src # user: "{{ tomcat_manager_username }}" password: "{{ tomcat_manager_password }}" force_basic_auth: yes method: PUT delegate_to: 127.0.0.1 The task passes but it just pushes a blank file to Tomcat instead of the war. I've tried subbing out the src param with body: "{{ lookup('file', '/opt/someapp.war') }}" but I get utf-8 encoding errors. My main question is uploading a binary file not possible with the URI module? And if so what parameters should I use? There's documentation for using POST with a json file on http://docs.ansible.com/uri_module.html but nothing about uploading binaries. Thanks in advance.
