gollark: They CLAIM to be running the latest version from the git repo.
gollark: I'm getting this as a potatOS-related bug report from a user, so they *may* just be on the wrong version.
gollark: In CC, it appears to use the second return value as the error, CraftOS-PC doesn't.
gollark: The line```lua local h = assert(http.get(url, nil, true)) -- binary mode, to avoid any weirdness```in potatOS works in CCEmuX but not CraftOS-PC. Although it might be that the HTTP thing is broken too, I can't check.
gollark: CraftOS-PC's `assert` seems to work differently to the CC one.
