Tool is failing to parse URL like git@github.com:siimon/prom-client.git in downloadLocation

URL like git@github.com:siimon/prom-client.git are valid download locations. Github provides the link this way. But the tool is marking this as invalid.

package download_location must be a valid download location according to the specification, but is: git@github.com:siimon/prom-client.git

Could the specification be incorrect in this case and the tool should be able to adjust it?

Not sure what the specification says about that. Download Location is either a URL or a "VCS location", where the "VCS location" is of the following form:

<vcs_tool>+<transport>://<host_name>[/<path_to_repository>][@<revision_tag_or_branch>][#<sub_path>]

Not sure if that example falls under URL or "VCS location", but the VCS Location seems to always contain ://.

On the other hand, the specification has the example git+git@git.myproject.org:MyProject which is close to your form.
