In order to avoid the XY problem, I'll also say that what I'm trying to do is download a ZIP file from the internet as a `pulumi.FileAsset`, but the ZIP file requires some Authorization.

And to take it even a step further back -- REALLY what I want to do is initialize a GCP cloud function from a github repository

&gt; `apply` does not seem to convert `Output[str]`
Apply doesn’t convert an `Output[str]` it waits for the value to be returned, then does something with it. What do you have so far?
You like want to do:

```value.apply(lambda v: //download the file here)```

I updated the inputs and outputs doc yesterday, you may consider reading it and seeing if it’s easier to grok now

Is there a way to easily cleanup the downloaded file after Pulumi up runs?

No there’s no post run callback, I’d just download the file into a temporary directory tbh

that's what I'm doing but still :stuck_out_tongue: having init and cleanup hooks would be reaaaally nice
