Error in https request from WinHTTP

InfinityFree Forum [Unofficial] May 17, 2026
Source
Hello, I am hosting static update files for my own game launcher/client on my InfinityFree website. The launcher downloads a JSON manifest file using WinHTTP, but instead of receiving the JSON file, the request receives an HTML page containing: This breaks the updater because it expects a direct static JSON response. Could you please disable the JavaScript/browser verification or anti-bot protection for my domain/subdomain, or allow direct programmatic access to static files such as: /Half-Life/updates/manifest.json /Half-Life/files/* The files need to be accessible by a normal HTTPS GET request from a desktop application, without requiring JavaScript, browser cookies, CAPTCHA, or redirects to a verification page. My update manifest URL is: https://ethnic-eagle.gamer.gd/Half-Life/updates/manifest.json Thank you.
