CONFIGURATION

• No specific configuration

OS / ENVIRONMENT

• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

• Create a website using the following play:

- name: Create WebApp Application Pool
  win_iis_webapppool:
    name: WebApp
    state: started
    attributes:
      managedRuntimeVersion: v4.0
      autoStart: yes

- name: Create directory structure
  win_file:
    path: 'D:\MyServer\WebApps'
    state: directory

- name: Create MyServer Web Site
  win_iis_website:
    name: "MyServer"
    physical_path: 'D:\MyServer\WebApps'
    ip: '*'
    port: 443
    state: started
    application_pool: WebApp

EXPECTED RESULTS

As port has been selected to 443, it should select the https as protocol.

ACTUAL RESULTS

Always its selecting http as a protocol if-respective of port type. Hence there are two options:

• Either there should be a logic to choose the protocol based on the port type
• Or allow a new parameter like protocol to select what to choose between http/http and it should be in sync with the standard port 80/443 respectively
