I'm trying to use the Fetching presets from an HTTP server, so I can run the settings locally and through my server, but when I try to use in the server it throws the following error "validationError": "Sub-presets cannot be combined with a custom path (https://gitlab.transics-cicd.aws.zf.com/api/v4/projects/11367/repository/files/teams%2Fnewton%2Frenovate-base.json/raw?ref=newton%2Fupdating-settings)".
As we can see, I'm trying to use the raw HTTP URL, and there is no sub-preset.
Checking the code, I noticed this:

  } else if (str.includes('//')) {
    // non-scoped namespace with a subdirectory preset

    // Validation
    if (str.includes(':')) {
      throw new Error(PRESET_PROHIBITED_SUBPRESET);
    }

https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/blob/6aa5c4238f589c79bb4e3a96fd01a52b6c8c4ea6/lib/config/presets/parse.ts#L95C1-L101C6
I can be wrong, but this validation will not allow us to use the Fetching presets from an HTTP server approach.
