I had a similar problem some months ago. In my case it turned out that my browser's adblocker extension broke the communication.
Turning it off for that URL got rid of the problems.

I had this same problem a couple of hours ago. My default browser was Vivaldi (Chromium based).
After the error shows up in my default browser, I just copy/pasted the url https://www.sidefx.com/login/launcher/ [www.sidefx.com] into Firefox instead and I was able to update the launcher and install a newer Houdini version.
