Potential Fix for "blocked" mods about prismlauncher HOT 8 CLOSED

This is against CF's ToS and would bypass their "DRM"

How would this be bypassing their "DRM". Its just some basic string manipulation (Please correct me if im wrong)

Also, can you preferably quote the part of their TOS that says this

We even tried doing this in the past and they asked us to stop

from prismlauncher.

Other than the fact that there is no way to tell the user that the download failed due to a guessed URL, I managed to draft a PR regarding this. Once I figure out how to alert the user about this stuff I will mark it ready to review.
Thanks for your suggestion!

Sorry I did not look it up before starting working but here is the part (more exactly the c part):

The only downside of this is that to determine if the URL is valid or not we would need to request the file or at least call HEAD before displaying to the user the option.
So either guess all missing URLs and give an error on download if the URL is not accessible or before displaying the option verify the URL using the HEAD request.
But this would indeed be nice if the guessed URL is always correct.

This is unbelievable (I shouldn't use this language but), a-hole behaviour from CurseForge

Hopefully, in the (not-so-distant) future, Prism can have a plugin system (which I know is a lot of work by itself)
So that we can make a plugin to "bypass" this so-called "DRM"

PS: Thanks for the link to the TOS :)
