Description Ken Shirriff 2023-02-27 22:04:17 UTC 
Description:
Check For Updates failed with the error message "." (just a period).



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Help -> Check For Updates.

Actual Results:
I got a dialog box "Checking for an update failed. Error reading data from the Internet. Server error message: ."

Expected Results:
Should check for updates. If there is a genuine error, "." is not a good error message :-)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
My network from home is working fine (WiFi) with internet connectivity. I'm not using a VPN or firewall or anything weird.

I tried resetting my UserProfile and got the same problem.
