Bluemix Workflow Service - Plugin Handshake Timeout - workflow

As part of the setup to use the Workflow Service in Bluemix, a plugin is required, added to your DevOps project associated with Workflow. The "install plugin" pre-populates the Orion install plugin field with:
https://workflow.ng.bluemix.net/workflow/devOpsServices/workflowPlugin.html
After a minute or so, this consistently times out with:
Plugin handshake timeout for: http://workflow.ng.bluemix.net/workflow/devOpsServices/workflowPlugin.html
As you can see, the timeout is on an http:// url rather than https:// , this being consequential or relevant, I'm unsure.
I did also try a straight http:// url instead with the same effect. Also, different computer, same steps, same result.
Any additional troubleshooting come to mind?
TIA

we tried to reproduce the issue but it seems as the issue is gone and the whole installation worked for us in Google Chrome. Do you still encounter the issue? Please retry. What you're describing seems like an endless loop redirecting http to https. If you still encounter the problem, please let us know, and we'll continue with our investigations. Regards, R.

Can't connect to github.com at all

I'm running windows 10. I used to use github just fine and I'm not sure what changed, but I can't access the site in any way. I can't browse it. I can't use github tools. I've tried http and https. It all times out.
All other https sites work fine. All other sites that I can find in general work fine. It's just me and Github not getting along.
I beseech thee, code gurus, help me get back to work.
I've tried setting myself in the DMZ of my router and turning off the firewall, to no effect.

Presence insights server results in an initialization error

The presence insight server on bluemix has been quite unstable now. Cannot get access to the server.
Is there any way to deploy the instance on softlayer server for production?
There were definitely some problems with PI last evening, but the team worked until early this morning to get them resolved. It looks like the system is back up and functioning. Are you still seeing the issue?
Also, as a general reference, this page has service status details on it that may be of help if you notice a problem.

Single Sign On service hangs when configuring it

I am trying to create and configure the Bluemix Single Sign On service and I am facing issues.
I create it unbound of any app, and when trying to setup it on the first dialog (provide a service name which will be part of its URL) it gets hanged. The browser is unresponsive for 1 minute or so and finally it fails with error message: "env: Client internal Error"
I am facing the same issue with Firefox 38.0.5, Chrome 43.0.2357.81m and IE 11.0.9600.17801
Any suggestion? Searching the forums I found as recommendation to clean browser cache and cookies. I already did it with no success.
EDITED: In parallel, I added as manager and developer another colleague to my Bluemix Space and it worked fine to him. So it seems it fails with my user which also is manager and developer but it exists in other spaces, etc...
Any thing I can check to narrow the issue?
Thanks!
on yesterday there have been a maintenance/upgrade activity so probably it your problem could be related to this.
Could you check again if it is working right now?

TFS won't receive request from external URL

My TFS is working fine for: http://localhost:8081 (notification URL).
But my other domain: www.sub.mysite.com (example), which succesfully resolves to other sites inside my IIS, will simply not load up TFS. Basically it sits on "connecting" then eventually times out.
What I don't understand is, when I change the URL in the TFS Admin console, I've noticed it doesn't even update the IIS bindings.
What can I do?
This could be the the old double-hop issue? But I can't really tell as the question isn't specific.

Failed to get AppContainer info: Unable to enumerate AppContainer

This issue came after #EricLaw explained me what was the problem when I could not receive a response back from my REST request.
Essentially the request was just returning blank, then I found out that if Fiddler was not running,
the application works just fine.
As Eric explains there are some security issues that I should consider when developing/debugging in Windows Server 2012.
I followed the instructions and installed the suggested utility but when I click in the AppContainer Loopback utility I get the following error: Failed to get AppContainer info: Unable to enumerate AppContainer, Is the windows Firewall Service started?
Of course, my Firewall Service is working just fine.
Additionally there is something I still don't understand, why my HTTP request works just fine whenever Fiddler is not running anyway?
Has anyone had this problem already?
PS: we need a new tag called fiddler4
I know it is a bit late to bring this up, but since I had a fix I though it might be helpful to others, too.
I used the utility described here and although it did not fix the issue for me, it had a glowing hint, the Windows Firewall.
What fixed the issue for me was starting Windows Firewall service, which I had disabled previously.
Hope this might help.
