Hello all,
I am receiving 403 responses when requesting raw files from a repo from gitlab.com. However, this is only when using a specific user agent:
Works:

I was also able to replicate this from another cloud IP and from a residential IP address. I was also able to replicate this using multiple repos. Is there someting at gitlab.com that blocks that specific user agent?
