      headers:

      force_basic_auth: true

please assist.

Answer 1

As show in the official documentation page of URI module, you have to use the validate_certs: no parameter in order to disable SSL check.

In addition, your task says force_basic_auth: true which means you want to give authentication credentials throught HTTP Header, thing you don't actually do ;)
