Hello!
I experience an issue with my Cinnamon applet manager, desklet manager, *let manager since I upgraded to 20.3.
I tried accessing the json file in my browser on the same machine without issues.
I had installed the spices update applet a long time ago, but removed it since the feature to update the spices in the Linux Mint update manager.
This happens, when I go to the Applets window > Download > Refresh icon
