vmware-fusion cask download failed

[kurgol]

Verification

• I understand that if I ignore these instructions, my issue may be closed without review.
• I have retried my command with --force.
• I ran brew update-reset && brew update and retried my command.
• I ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried my command.
• I have checked the instructions for reporting bugs.
• I made doubly sure this is not a checksum does not match / SHA256 mismatch error (do not open an issue before trying to open a PR to fix first).

Description of issue

It looks like the broadcom acquisition of VMWARE may have changed the download URL but I'm unable to verify what the correct URL should be in order to update the cask with a PR.

The latest version available from the broadcom website is now 13.5.2 and homebrew is trying to download 13.5.1, though the download in the current cask is pointing at a file hosted on vmware.com domain.

Command that failed

same failed.

I don't think there's a stable url available at the moment. We may need to wait until they have migrated some more systems.

[viking1304]

I hope I am wrong, but I am very pessimistic about this issue. download3.vmware.com has been shut down since migration started, and it probably will never get back online. I cannot download the image even after I log in since my account has not been correctly migrated.

If you go to https://www.vmware.com/products/desktop-hypervisor.html you will see that both links (for Mac and PC) now lead to https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/downloads and there is no option to download the installer without logging in first.

Mac binaries can be found here - they are now double packed (zip inside tar), but other than that works same way.
