I've followed everything on this link (#5926) but I'm still getting the following error on typing the following command

youtube-dl --cookies Desktop/cookies1.txt --verbose http://www.lynda.com/Git-tutorials/Ignoring-tracked-files/100222/111297-4.html

I've spent days trying to figure out a workaround here and troubleshooting, but I'm able to find out what is making a bad request after receiving the video JSON, please help

You have invalid newline format used in cookies file. Currently it's Windows CRLF (\r\n) instead of Linux LF (\n). Converting newlines to \n fixes the problem.
