proposal: ability to provide credentials to download releases about gofish HOT 2 OPEN

I don't see why not. Feel free to contribute a patch.

Hmm, gitlab apparently only lets you download release source artifacts rather than uploaded binary artifacts, but credentials will still be useful.

I'm was originally thinking: make the request, if response is 401, use www-authenticate header to work out how to format the credentials from netrc, basic auth or just the password as a token

but github gives a 404 instead and gitlab (not that it works yet) 302s you to the login page so might be a bit messy...

so i guess try first request with basic auth if credentials exist with an 'accept: application/octet-stream' header, potentially handle things differently based on hostname patterns later
