Hi @santa.kotta,

This error seems specific to your localhost server setup.

I would try checking Stackoverflow or Google to see if there are any solutions out there. A quick search my end brings up a few other people who are receiving a similar message.

Thanks,  
Alex

Thanks for jumping in @alexmayo!

I agree that this seems like an issue with your local environment. Have you tried using a service like [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) to bring your localhost online?

Best,  
Will
