http.query
New in version 2015.5.0
Query a resource, and decode the return data
Passes through all the parameters described in the
:py:func:`utils.http.query function <salt.utils.http.query>`:
.. autofunction:: salt.utils.http.query
raise_error : True
If ``False``, and if a connection cannot be made, the error will be
suppressed and the body of the return will simply be ``None``.
CLI Example:
salt '*' http.query http://somelink.com/
salt '*' http.query http://somelink.com/ method=POST params='key1=val1&key2=val2'
salt '*' http.query http://somelink.com/ method=POST data='<xml>somecontent</xml>'
http.wait_for_successful_query
Query a resource until a successful response, and decode the return data
CLI Example:
salt '*' http.wait_for_successful_query http://somelink.com/ wait_for=160 request_interval=1
http.update_ca_bundle
Update the local CA bundle file from a URL
New in version 2015.5.0
CLI Example:
salt '*' http.update_ca_bundle
salt '*' http.update_ca_bundle target=/path/to/cacerts.pem
salt '*' http.update_ca_bundle source=https://example.com/cacerts.pem
If the ``target`` is not specified, it will be pulled from the ``ca_cert``
configuration variable available to the minion. If it cannot be found there,
it will be placed at ``<<FILE_ROOTS>>/cacerts.pem``.
If the ``source`` is not specified, it will be pulled from the
``ca_cert_url`` configuration variable available to the minion. If it cannot
be found, it will be downloaded from the cURL website, using an http (not
https) URL. USING THE DEFAULT URL SHOULD BE AVOIDED!
``merge_files`` may also be specified, which includes a string or list of
strings representing a file or files to be appended to the end of the CA
bundle, once it is downloaded.
CLI Example:
salt '*' http.update_ca_bundle merge_files=/path/to/mycert.pem
