Current behaviour

Whenever a user loads a custom version of EDAM, if there is an error while loading the URL the UI will give no error message and no feedback:

Display an error message when an error occurs while loading the file, then go back to the previous version selected.
If possible, the error message should be specific and readable, e.g. explain if this is a CORS error, or if the file doesn't seem to be in the right format.

thamks @hmenager. A super important issue here. Also, mind passing the link you were trying to load?

Sure, it happened to me while trying to test how MONDO would display, with this file: https://github.com/monarch-initiative/mondo/releases/download/v2021-07-12/mondo-minimal.owl But you can also test it with EDAM URLs which are not from raw.githubusercontent.com, such as: https://github.com/edamontology/edamontology/releases/download/1.25/EDAM_1.25.owl (that's important, because users might want to paste such "release" URLs directly)

Is this the CORS error?
