Passing referer option to curl, but brew audit returns 403

[cesarcoatl]

I have created a tap and added a formula that in order to download the file from the url, I have to pass the referer option.

  url "https://files.foo.com/release/foo/1.0/foo-1.0.zip", referer: "https://foo.com/"

So curl is executed with the option -e https://foo.com/.

The formula downloads and installs correctly, but running brew audit results in the following error:

$ brew audit --online --git --skip-style [email protected]
[email protected]:
  * Stable: The URL https://files.foo.com/release/foo/1.0/foo-1.0.zip is not reachable (HTTP status code 403)
Error: 1 problem in 1 formula detected

The tap I created using brew tap-new installed two workflows, and my PRs are failing at the brew test-bot --only-formulae step.

If I'm using the default download strategy, curl, and it is able to download the file without issues, why doesn't brew audit also use the referer option?

Thanks

Anyone?

If it's just brew audit that's failing, you can probably still merge. By the time brew audit runs, the bottles should already have been built and they should be uploaded regardless of the brew audit status.

Thanks, @Rylan12.

This is the formula I created: [email protected]

Thanks, that's very helpful! I'll take a look tomorrow.

I've opened Homebrew/brew#10402 to modify brew audit so that it sees the specs passed to the url method. That should solve the issue.

That's awesome! Thanks, @Rylan12.

I assume once that's merged the work flow running on my repo will use the latest version.

Correct
