Description
Linked to https://github.com/opensafely-core/opencodelists/issues/2885 and https://github.com/opensafely-core/opencodelists/issues/2812
If a codelist can't be downloaded because it has unsupported headers, the error message is uninformative. It should be updated to better explain to users what is happening.
