After upgrating to foreman 1.19 , host creation doesnt work.

There is no error on client side.

Python Version 2.7

Code ( it was working before foreman upgrade )

#!/usr/bin/env python2.7

import sys
import json
import urllib3
from foreman.client import Foreman
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

# prepare the info
password = sys.argv[1]
user_foreman = sys.argv[2]
vmname = sys.argv[3]
host_group = int(sys.argv[4])
mac = sys.argv[5]

# get the foreman connection
try:
  f = Foreman('http://foreman-host', (user_foreman, password),api_version=2,verify=False)
  info = {}
  info["name"] = vmname
  info["mac"] = mac
  info["domain_id"] = 1
  info["hostgroup_id"] = host_group
  info["build"] = 1
  f.create_hosts(host=info)
except Exception as e:
  print("\n .... cloud not register the VM  ..." , e)

It looks like it's trying to force you to go to https, can you try using https for the url when instantiating the Foreman client?

[david-caro]

It's strange though if the client itself would not follow the redirect :/

@david-caro putting https in there did the trick. thanks alot. cheers
