Notes
Note
- More information about the internal APIC class config:ImportP from the APIC Management Information Model reference.
- By default, if an environment variable
<protocol>_proxy
is set on the target host, requests will be sent through that proxy. This behaviour can be overridden by setting a variable for this task (see setting the environment), or by using theuse_proxy
option. - HTTP redirects can redirect from HTTP to HTTPS so you should be sure that your proxy environment for both protocols is correct.
