Research direction

Start at the check-jsonschema CLI's --schemafile download path and reproduce the Bluetooth URL command in Windows Git Bash. Compare its handling of the redirect with curl -L; done means the schema URL can be passed directly and example.json validates without the 403 failure.

Hi

The following is not working
check-jsonschema --schemafile 'https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/specs/mesh-cdb-1-0-1-schema.json#' example.json Error: Unexpected Error building schema validator FailedDownloadError: got responses with status=403, retries exhausted

While the following is working (notice -L in curl):
curl -L 'https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/specs/mesh-cdb-1-0-1-schema.json#' | check-jsonschema --schemafile - example.json

The platform is Windows 11, running "GIT bash" terminal.
