Is there any workaround that we can share with users ?

+ Prudhvi, could you please try to repro and bisect if possible.
This is a known issue with server configuration. As of now, we still have an issue with roughly 5% of users. We expect it to clear up in the next day.

Thank you for taking a look at it John. Few questions though,
1. Is there something we can share back with users ? Any workarounds ?
2. For some reason this was never a concern before, has something changed ? 
3. Is there a plan to fix this issue ?
1. This was a server configuration issue. There is nothing the user can do about it.
2. This was an error, which I hope we won't repeat.
3. To my knowledge, it should be fixed now.

Status: Fixed (was: Untriaged)
Thank you John.
Closing this bug as Fixed.
