- "action" style invoking is a legacy way to call modules
- the examples were updated to the typical style of calling complex
modules:
ovirt:
parameter1: value1
parameter2: value2
...
The os_project module instantiates the openstack cloud object
by passing the module params kwargs.
As the params contain a key named 'domain_id', this is used
for domain in the OpenStack connection, instead of the domain value
the user specifies on the OSCC clouds.yaml or OpenStack envvars.
This fix corrects this by popping the 'domain_id' key, so it we
keep the value but it's not passed later on module.params.
When this module was written back in May 2015 we were using 1.9.x. Being lazy I added to param the objects that the other functions would need. What I have noticed is in 2.0 exit_json is trying to jsonify those complex objects and failing. This PR resolves that issue with the vmware_vm_vss_dvs_migrate module.

win_uri uses "Invoke-WebRequest" under the covers, which apparently
uses Internet Explorer to parse a webpage. The problem is if a user
has never run Internet Explorer, it will be unable to do that. The
work around for this is to set the "-UseBasicParsing" flag.
The only advantage to having the Internet Explorer parsed page is
that you can then access the DOM as if it was a powershell
argument. That doesn't seem super useful for Ansible to be able
to do, so I set the default to be "-UseBasicParsing"
