api.evemarketer.com hides behind Cloudflare and Cloudflare is dumb enough to reject some clients not being a browser or that it doesn’t know or accept for no reason or with a HEAD request. Like for

curl -I --head 'http://api.evemarketer.com/ec/marketstat?typeid=34'

it returns a HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error and with a -X OPTIONS request instead it returns completely nothing. LibreOffice uses libcurl announcing LibreOffice and curl in the User-Agent header.

Parsing User-Agent header considered harmful.

Update:

With Cloudflare it seems to be yet a different problem, apparently it answers any HEAD request with a 500 error, regardless of User-Agent string. In fact

curl 'http://api.evemarketer.com/ec/marketstat?typeid=34'

does deliver a result.

LibreOffice first sends an OPTIONS request, then HEAD, then GET. If already HEAD fails then it doesn’t attempt a GET. (if that still is the case, it’s some time ago I looked at it).

… and AFAICT mst made a change recently to workaround that - ah yes, it’s commit 8d9c56e8f42428fd6695942c673bffb985d22ad5. But that should be available in 7.3.3 already …
