The error you are seeing in the logs is due to a corruption in the response the launcher receives from the server. Most commonly this happens when you run through a proxy of some sorts, and a "proxy" in this case can also come from anti-virus / anti-malware tools; a most recent famous example was Spybot S&D 2.0 which shipped with a proxy module that would interfere with the EVE launcher. More recent versions of said software seem to have this resolved by not automatically enabling Spybot's proxy module. However, that is only one of many different programs which might interfere, and it is not just the EVE launcher suffering from issues with these "tools". Valve, for example, have an extensive list of programs that tend to cause trouble with Steam, maybe you are running one of these?

Also, just to make sure, since the game worked fine for you a couple of days ago: Did you install any software during the past few days?
