Unable to run software download via ansible.

[AdamBatey]

Hi,

I'm working on automating software updates via ansible and having a key issue with the excution of the download command using the panos_op module. 

I've been able to exceute "request system software check" to grab the latest avaialble software, but when i run the "request system software download version #.#.#"  it errors with     "msg": "URLError: code: 400 reason: Bad Request"

I have confirmed that the version i'm trying to download is listed, and i confirmed that if i run the command on the unit itself it works -  it only fails when trying to exceute via ansible. 

Heere is the output form the debug : I can confirm 8.1.0 is installed, and 8.1.2 is listed after running "request system software check" 

Log output

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {

    "changed": false,

    "invocation": {

        "module_args": {

            "api_key": null,

            "cmd": "request system software download version 8.1.2",

            "ip_address": "172.31.247.17",

            "password": "VALUE_SPECIFIED_IN_NO_LOG_PARAMETER",

            "username": "ansible-agent"

        }

    },

    "msg": "URLError: code: 400 reason: Bad Request"

}

        to retry, use: --limit @/home/baismanage/ansible/download_sw.retry

reolved this when i noted the panos_software module which handles upgrades.
