SUMMARY

unarchive in current master won't work with remote files anymore. Simply copying lib/ansible/plugins/action/unarchive.py and lib/ansible/modules/files/unarchive.py from ansible 2.3 makes it work again.

Perhaps also check out #17009

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

- name: "install AWStats"
  unarchive:
    remote_src: "yes"
    src:        "http://netix.dl.sourceforge.net/project/awstats/AWStats/7.5/awstats-7.5.tar.gz"
    dest:       "/tmp"
    owner:      "root"
    group:      "root"
    keep_newer: "yes"
    creates:    "/tmp/awstats-7.5"

EXPECTED RESULTS

It is expected that the file will be properly downloaded and extracted to the destination directory.

ACTUAL RESULTS

TASK [hclwrk-init : install AWStats] *******************************************
fatal: [com-dhclwrk001.srv.combell-ops.net]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Source 'http://netix.dl.sourceforge.net/project/awstats/AWStats/7.5/awstats-7.5.tar.gz' failed to transfer"}

I thought this was different as this was with python2. But indeed, PR#24732 fixed it too.
