There are two implementations of a netrc parser: one lives in src/cmd/go/internal/web2/web.go and the other one lives in x/tools/cmd/auth/netrcauth/netrcauth.go.

Apart from the fact that these two implementations may differ in how they parse the spec this is a useful piece of functionality written by people with a high degree of trust and it would be nice if this library could be imported from somewhere.

CC @rogpeppe for github.com/rogpeppe/go-internal.

Note that the netrc parser is currently in flux for #26232.

Honestly, though, if you need to consume its output I would rather you just shell out to x/tools/cmd/auth/netrcauth: that command-line API will need to be stable by 1.13, and it's very easy to parse using textproto, so I'm not sure we need to add a Go package API on top of it.

Aside: Possibly a good candidate for fuzzing. cc @thepudds

Alright, I might push a proposed interface to github.com/kevinburke/netrc and we can see how it looks.

netrcauth seems like it would do what I want, but the goal would be to use it in API clients such as github.com/kevinburke/twilio-go or github.com/kevinburke/travis and I'm not sure I want to count on end users having a second binary - netrcauth - on their machines.
