Configuration

# if using a version older than ansible-core 2.12 you should omit the '-t all'
$ ansible-config dump --only-changed -t all

OS / Environment

Running the script on my macos and the execution (mysql installation in this case) should run on a centos 7 vm.

Steps to Reproduce

- name: Install MySQL
  hosts: all:!localhost
  tasks:
    - name: Install MySQL 5.7 repo
      yum: name=http://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-8.noarch.rpm state=present validate_certs=no

** passing the vm ip as an cli -i

Expected Results

mysql to get installed.

Looks like we need to tweak the check at

ansible/lib/ansible/module_utils/urls.py

Line 1953 in 4ff76ff

if e.fp is None:

to return a different response than the exception object if its read is None.

[aviiiiiiiii]

Any idea why is the read is none? The yum url is invalid or the response might be?

[bcoca]

There is an HTTPerror, which has 'none' as it's methods when we try to read the reason, this seems to be a corner case of Python's urllib errors, we are still investigating.

[aviiiiiiiii]

Ok cool thx, so a workaround might be to for ansible to use python3.9 instead of the version mentioned above?

[lucalooz]

@aviiiiiiiii did you solve this issue?
I think I've found the culprit, it seems that the Akamai CDN responds with a 403 if there isn't a correct combination of request headers between User-Agent, Accept, Accept-Encoding and Connection.
