A more precise regex is

    [0-9a-f]{2}(:[0-9a-f]{2}){15}|SHA256:[A-Za-z0-9+/=]{43}

I've committed this change to my upload branch at
https://github.com/andrex-e-schulman/cygport.git.  

Also in that branch, I've added documentation of the fact that users will need
to connect to cygwin.com at least one time by sftp before they upload, in order
to store the host public key in their known_hosts file, as explained in
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2015-03/msg00193.html .
