Loading remote files fails on mac

Describe the bug

Scripts that use the compas.get() function to resolve file names are failing to resolve properly and defaulting to the remote version of the files. Additionally (perhaps a second, unrelated error), this machine seems to fail to get the remote files.

To Reproduce

• Open Rhino 7 on Mac
• Run the following script in the EditPythonScript editor:

from compas.artists import Artist
from compas.robots import RobotModel

model = RobotModel.ur5(load_geometry=True)

Expected behavior Instead of loading the files, the code fails to locate the local file, then reverts to the remote versions, but it also fails to retrieve the remote files with the following error message:

Message: HTTPError
Traceback:

It might well be these are two separate errors, the first one is related to readlink for posix OSes in compas._os.realpath, and the second is the HTTP Error triggered by the attempt to load the file from remote.

about the first problem...

the path "https://github.com/compas-dev/compas/raw/main/samples/{}".format(filename) is not correct.

it should be "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/compas-dev/compas/main/src/compas/data/samples/{}".format(filename)
