Proget: custom download instructions for Assets

MaxCascone

Hi! I love being able to create our own download instructions for packages. This doesn't seem to be available for Assets. Am I missing something? Can it be added?

thanks!

Hi @mcascone ,

Thanks for the feedback, that's great to hear. We'd love to hear what your download instructions look like, so we can share examples of how to use it.

We didn't have support for this, but it will come in the next (first!) maintenance release of ProGet 2022, currently scheduled for July 8:

cool, you guys are the best!

I've updated the instructions for feeds to make it copy-pasteable for users, rather than having to edit out the options/variables. Naturally I hide the originals and only show the updated ones.

Example: the builtin CURL instructions for a package:

To download $PackageFullName from cURL, run the following command:
curl $DownloadUrl[?contentOnly=[zip|tgz]] --output $PackageName.$PackageVersion.[zip|tgz] --user <user>:<password>

I simplified it to:

To download $PackageFullName from cURL, run the following command:
curl $DownloadUrl?contentOnly=zip --output $PackageName.$PackageVersion.zip

Powershell example:

To download $PackageFullName from PowerShell, run the following command:

Invoke-WebRequest $DownloadUrl[?contentOnly=[zip|tgz]] -Headers @{"AUTHORIZATION"="Basic " + [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes("<user>:<password>"))} -OutFile $PackageName.$PackageVersion.[zip|tgz]

simplified:

To download $PackageFullName from PowerShell, run the following command:
Invoke-WebRequest $DownloadUrl?contentOnly=zip -OutFile $PackageName.$PackageVersion.zip
