Thank You, All. Worked Perfectly with the hardcoded parameters above.

Since they rebuilt the site (again) and there's no way to scrape the bundle URL now, I've hardcoded it. The current bundle URL doesn't include a version number now so maybe that'll be a stable filename in the future.

Thanks @AfroThundr3007730 for keeping this working! While this is a simple gist, I appreciate you maintain it like an open source project. Hopefully, DISA's latest changes reduce the load for maintenance.
