Error in https request from WinHTTP

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.
