GitHub auto-update on Windows returning error #1112
Description
- Version: 10.12.0
- Target: Windows
I'm having some trouble getting auto-updates for Windows to work. I've installed the electron-auto-updater npm module, and mostly got everything set up. My builds are producing app-latest.yml files. When I try running my installed app, I'm getting this error:
[2017-01-13 07:53:13:0250] [error] SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input

Based on the callstack, I did a little digging and found this code. I decided to try hitting the same endpoint with Postman, set my accept header to application/json, and I'm getting an HTTP 406 from Github:

It's possible I'm way off, but I can't quite figure out how this is supposed to work.
