1. 1. 1. 1. 1. SUMMARY
               Filter_names not working as expected in vmware.vmware_rest.vcenter_network_info

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. ISSUE TYPE
               An unfiltered call to vmware.vmware_rest.vcenter_network_info returns the following

`ok: [localhost] => {
"network1_info": {
"changed": false,
"failed": false,
"value": [

{ "name": "VM Network", "network": "network-3160", "type": "STANDARD_PORTGROUP" }

,

{ "name": "VM Network Private", "network": "network-3161", "type": "STANDARD_PORTGROUP" }

,

{ "name": "VM Network Public", "network": "network-3162", "type": "STANDARD_PORTGROUP" }

]
}
}
`
If I use the following

` - name: Get a list of the networks with a filter
vmware.vmware_rest.vcenter_network_info:
names:

• "VM Network Public"
  register: network2_info

• debug:
  var: network2_info
  `

returns an empty list, rather than a list with a single entry.
