[Bug]: NetBox modules silently fail with HTTP on HTTPS-enabled instance, falsely report 'changed'

[thystips]

Ansible NetBox Collection version

3.21.0

Ansible version

ansible [core 2.18.9]
  config file = /home/nothing/dev/weytop/ansible_vmfarm/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/nothing/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /home/nothing/dev/weytop/ansible_vmfarm/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /home/nothing/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections:/home/nothing/dev/weytop/ansible_vmfarm
  executable location = /home/nothing/dev/weytop/ansible_vmfarm/.venv/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.12.11 (main, Jul 23 2025, 00:34:44) [Clang 20.1.4 ] (/home/nothing/dev/weytop/ansible_vmfarm/.venv/bin/python3)
  jinja version = 3.1.6
  libyaml = True

NetBox version

v4.4.6-Docker-3.4.2 (with custom Dockerfile for plugins and SSO)

Python version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure NetBox with SSL and HTTP→HTTPS redirect
2. Use netbox.netbox module with HTTP URL:

   netbox.netbox.netbox_tenant:
     netbox_url: "http://netbox.example.com"  # HTTP instead of HTTPS
     netbox_token: "{{ token }}"
     data:
       name: "Test Tenant"

3. Run the task

Expected Behavior

Module follows redirect and creates object, OR fails with clear error

Observed Behavior

• Returns changed: true ✓
• No error/warning
• Object NOT created ✗
• Not idempotent (always reports changed)
