source_url fails when used with gitlab private token

[rmhgan]

Hello!

I'm writing a wrap for a subproject that is trying to download a package from gitlab. My wrap file looks like this:

[wrap-file]
directory = libtest
source_url = https://PRIVATE-TOKEN:[obfuscated]@gitlab.domain.com/api/v4/projects/818/packages/generic/libtest/1.0/libtest.zip
source_filename = libtest-1.0.tar.gz
[provide]
dependency_names = TRY

The problem I'm running into stems from the url provided. Meson appears to parse the first ':' as the divider between host and port, and I'm getting errors saying that I have a non-numeric port number. I need to use the 'PRIVATE-TOKEN:[obfuscated]' to access our gitlab.

Any recommendations? I've tried variants on the url, including specifying the port explictly, hoping then that meson would parse the command correctly, but it still captures the first instance of the colon.

Thanks for your time.

Meson supports reading ~/.netrc which is usually what people want here anyway. Otherwise it simply passes your url string into python urllib and tries to download it. I'm not sure that actually supports parsing this on its own.

Thank you Eli. I'm checking that out now, I expect that to work.
