It works in the browser but why not in Lua?

The link didn't work in my browser, is it posible that your browser is also using it's cookies to make the link work?

It seems that it gives me a 400 bad request error. Gitlab might just be having issues

Are you sure that you are getting the raw URL right?

It looks like this
https://gitlab.com/hbomb79/Titanium/-/blob/develop/src/loadFirst.cfgshould turn into this

It shows that it got the files, but created the directories, and didn't put any files. Try checking the docs and see if you got it correctly. It only put the files and created them at the root directory but not in the system directories that you made for COSC.
