loading js dynamically with jquery

I'm conditionally loading a script if the browser is IE8. I'm using jquery's .getScript function because I need to run something after the script is loaded. The problem is in the format of the URL. I've got it working when downloading the script that's on my hard drive directory but I can't get it to work when loading the script from a site.

This is what I have, I'm sure it's a simple fix but I'm not getting it to work:

 $.getScript("https://github.com/malsup/corner/blob/master/jquery.corner.js", function () { 
  //does something here
});

Thanks for your fix.

The problem is that you are requesting the actual formatted github page ... so you get back html..

use 

$.getScript("https://raw.github.com/malsup/corner/master/jquery.corner.js", function () { 
  //does something here
});

(changed the url to the correct one..)

There is a link Raw on the heading bar above the formatted code. Click it to get to the raw file..

The safe url is http://malsup.github.com/jquery.corner.js
