Convert GitLab web URLs to API format for authentication#58
Merged
Conversation
The issue was that GitLab web UI raw URLs (/-/raw/) don't accept API tokens via headers. Only the GitLab API endpoints accept PRIVATE-TOKEN headers for authentication. Changes: - Add convert_gitlab_url_to_api() function to transform web URLs to API format - Automatically convert GitLab URLs in fetch_url_with_auth() before fetching - Update README with clear examples of both web and API URL formats - Document that web URLs are automatically converted for authentication Converts from: https://gitlab.com/namespace/project/-/raw/branch/path To: https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/namespace%2Fproject/repository/files/path/raw?ref=branch
