Bug #23057: OS X package resource type doesn't allow for querystrings on source
uri

----------------------------------------
The package resources for OS X don't allow for source strings that do not end
with pkg or dmg. This is problematic in most cases where cloud storage like
dropbox are used. Dropbox doesn't do direct downloads without user interaction
unless a query string parameter is added to the URL (i.e. ?dl=1)
The following code:
$source = "https://www.dropbox.com/s/xxxxxxx/installer.dmg?dl=1";
package {"installer":
ensure => installed,
source => "${source}",
provider => pkgdmg,
}
Will fail with:
Error: Mac OS X PKG DMG's must specify a source string ending in .dmg or flat
.pkg file
The provider should instead be parsing off the query string, or out the file
name of the request, rather than rejecting the entire string. I would like to
point out that I can cheat the validation method above by doing:
$source =
"https://www.dropbox.com/s/m2fhkj8c3ntv2hi/VMware-Fusion-${version}-${build}-light.dmg?dl=1&.dmg";
only the last few characters are being validated.
