WinJS.xhr: Network Error 0x2efd, Could not complete the operation due to error 00002efd - xmlhttprequest

I have problem with WinJS.xhr when developing a Windows 8 Metro application in JavaScript.
WinJS.xhr({ url: "http://www.seznam.cz"});
When above code is executed, I see in log:
SCRIPT7002: XMLHttpRequest: Network Error 0x2efd, Could not complete
the operation due to error 00002efd.
I have enabled "Internet (Client)" capability in manifest.
Maybe the problem is because I am behind proxy and using VPN, but I can access internet using Google Chrome (I just need to authorize, otherwise HTTP Status 407 - proxy authorization needed).
How can I fix it?
[EDIT]
So I found that it is probably related to the VPN I have to use (Cisco VPN Client). When I disable the VPN, even when I am behind the proxy (I use the LAN, with VPN I use WiFi), the request works. Maybe it is only Cisco VPN related. I had to modify registry as it is described here http://verbalprocessor.com/2012/09/17/windows-8-and-cisco-vpn-client/
Also interesting is that a few Metro apps work (maps) and some do not work (windows store) when I am behind proxy.
Just a notice: I have explored Windows.Networking.Connectivity and in both cases (with/without VPN) I get NetworkConnectivityLevel == "Local Access" (because I am behind the proxy probably).

I got the same error when connected to my workplace SSL/VPN connection (from Juniper).
Opening the .appxmanifest file and adding the "Private Networks (Home & Server)" capability solved the issue.
<Capabilities>
<Capability Name="internetClient" />
<Capability Name="privateNetworkClientServer" />
</Capabilities>

This solution worked for me (see forums link below)... essentially, you need to add the server's certificate to the Windows Store App manifest (also be sure your manfiest "Capabilities" are set to at least "InternetClient"). You can get the server's certificate by exporting it from your browser, save is as a ".der" file. Using Firefox was easier than IE in doing this (From FF, browse to the target domain that has the certificate, then right click on the page > Page Info > Security tab > Details tab > Export button > save as ".der".

This solution seems absurd - so bear in mind, this may only be necessary for sites that are using self-signed certificates, like in a development environment, because this process was not necessary for other production sites.

The proper way to do this was posted on the MSDN forums, it didn't work for me but the following did
config.xml
...
<platform name="windows">
<config-file target="package.appxmanifest">
<DeviceCapability Name="privateNetworkClientServer" />
</config-file>
...
</platform>
These will be merged with your other capabilities

IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2017.2 keeps asking proxy credentials

I am behind an enterprise firewall, have checked "Auto-detect proxy settings" in System Settings -> HTTP Proxy. I entered the correct credentials and checked "Remember". I know the credentials are correct, as I am able, for example, to download and install plugins.
However, IntelliJ keeps asking me periodically to re-enter the proxy credentials. Why?
For me the solution was changing proxy setting to "No Proxy" from "Auto-detect".
Idea retrieves proxy settings anyway from Windows.
Version:2019.3
Raising a case they said the SSL certificate gets replaced via the proxy.
I was baffled as it works for some people and not others. People sitting next to each other!
Essentially the proxy gets in the way (from all non-JDK reports) and this is why you can't see the Last Seen dates in the site for all licensees.
The KB: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544889-SignatureException-Signature-doesn-t-match-or-Signature-length-not-correct-got-256-but-was-expecting-512
Solution:
The only alternative is to use the Offline Activation codes for each user who will need to login to https://JetBrains.com and get their individual Offline Activation code. Then activate the software offline. Help Menu > Register.

Missing configuration for the issuer of security tokens error

I inherited an existing project without its development environment. I have UAT code and a backup of the Production database. I can run up the site locally via Visual Studio but have hit an authentication problem trying to setup a fresh standalone DEV server on AWS (single server, no load balancer). The doco indicates the Prod server is a dual server setup with a load balancer.
The front end site pages do display, although some search is not working. On trying to log into the backend pages, Chrome returns "The xxx page isn't working. xxx redirected you too many times." Using developer tools, I can see the page redirects back and forth between SWT?realm=... and sitefinity?wrap_defalted=true&wrap_access_token... On the second redirect response header there is "X-Authentication-Error:Missing configuration for the issuer of security tokens 'https://xxx/Sitefinity/Authenticate/SWT' "
I tried different values in the web.config lines:
<federatedAuthentication>
<wsFederation passiveRedirectEnabled="true" issuer="http://localhost" realm="http://localhost" requireHttps="true"/>
<cookieHandler requireSsl="false"/>
</federatedAuthentication>
but that actually made things worse so I have reverted.
I checked all the settings mentioned in http://docs.sitefinity.com/administration-switch-to-claims-based-authentication and they seem to be set correctly. I don't really know what else I can check to get this working.
I found http://docs.sitefinity.com/administration-configure-security, but it does not seem like these settings are set (I don't have access to Prod server so can't confirm if it is actually setup with load balancing). I am currently using a 30 day trial license so am not sure if this is contributing to the problem. The official license is in the process of being transferred by the client. The domain name associated with the official license would be different to the domain my new server is currently running on.
I am also running version 8 code on a version 9 install of Sitefinity. I wanted to get it working before I tried to upgrade the code. I think there was also an assembly load to manifest mismatch when I tried upgrading my local version.
Found the solution: Don't mess with the SecurityConfig.config file.
<securityTokenIssuers>
<add key="B886AA7BFB5515BA63F577A44BBEB5C7AE674035514D128BC397346B11F4C97A" encoding="Hexadecimal" membershipProvider="Default" realm="http://localhost" />
</securityTokenIssuers>

<add key="B886AA7BFB5515BA63F577A44BBEB5C7AE674035514D128BC397346B11F4C97A" encoding="Hexadecimal" realm="http://localhost" />
</relyingParties>
Even though it is running on a server, the above lines should still point to localhost. It seems like these only need to be edited if you have a multi-server setup with an entirely separate STS.
I initially changed it to match the new domain name, but after some experimentation around adding localhost and HTTP variations, it seems like it works best with just localhost.
Even when I changed the web.config entry above to use the new domain as the issuer instead of localhost and the SecureConfig.config to specify only the new domain as the realms, it didn't seem to work. I guess the authentication must try to hit localhost specifically.

cannot connect to genymotion and getting proxy error

I have dowloaded latest version of genymotion with proxy server 2.2.2 and while connecting i am getting invalid reply from server (do you use a proxy?). I am not using proxy for sure. Any ideas?
Answer, its all about the http proxy server on the genymotion settings just UNCHECK on the genymotion setting or remover the http proxy server by UN-ticking the ability to enter HTTP PROXY and PORT let it be blank by unckecking hence login your credentials, if it doesn't work try confirming you email with genymotion.
In my case I went to Settings > Network > I checked "Use HTTP Proxy" and I filled the Http Proxy and port fields (with company proxy valid values).
After that I connect smoothly as silk.
I had the same problem in ubuntu and after some struggle when i was almost giving up i stop the docker (had one instance running in port 3337 in my PC) and for my surprise it's finally work.
I had a similar issue (invalid reply from server without Proxy, on a highly customized and quite broken ubuntu 16.04). nothing of the above helped. (seemingly)
Then I visited this site:
http://qaru.site/questions/835901/genymotion-stuck-on-splash-screen
(well, you have to let google translate it, if you are not russian)
the error described there is completely different. (computer crash resulting in different networking issues)
but it had one thing in common with my case:
everything worked fine, and then suddenly: SOME NETWORKING ERROR - without reason
well, for me, the solution was the same as described on the russian page:
removing a (corrupted?!) conf file.
the conf file was at (my home folder)/.config/Genymobile/Genymotion.conf
i deleted it (i had to do it with root, because the file was owned by root, but this might have been the case because i messed a bit with genymotion...)
Then, i restarted genymotion and logged in again and it worked like a charm.
I had to allow Genymtion.exe in windows firewall. I'm using v3
Had the same problem, managed it using a VPN.

Fiddler https error: "because they do not possess a common algorithm"

I am trying to monitor https traffic with Fiddler, using current newest version:2.4.4.5
I've successfully set up https, certificates and I can see the full https encrypted traffic for example browsing my bank's web site.
...however...
When I trying to monitor an other server I got this error message in the response window:
"Failed to secure existing connection for 77.87.178.160. A call to SSPI failed, see inner exception. InnerException: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The client and server cannot communicate, because they do not possess a common algorithm"
For full Fiddler window see:
The client is not a in this case browser, but a custom client program, which communicates with its own server.
My question: Is this exception misleading and in reality some other error prevents the secure channel to set up?
...or...
We have still chance to monitor this https communication?
Thx in advance
What is the client program?
This error typically indicates that that client application is only offering certain HTTPS ciphers, and those ciphers are not supported by Fiddler.
However, in this case, the specific problem here is almost certainly this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2009/12/08/aes-is-not-a-valid-cipher-for-sslv3.aspx
The client is trying to use AES with SSLv3, but that isn't one of the valid ciphers for SSL3. As a consequence, the connection fails.
You might be able to workaround this by clicking Rules > Customize Rules. Scroll down to the Main() function and add the following line within the function:
CONFIG.oAcceptedServerHTTPSProtocols =
System.Security.Authentication.SslProtocols.Ssl3;
Please let me know if this works.
NOTE Current versions of Fiddler offer a UI link for this: Look at the lis of enabled protocols on the HTTPS tab.
Unbelievably this issue is still present some 6 years later.
Just installed the latest version of Fiddle (v5.0.20194.41348), and sure enough on Win7 using Chrome or IE it keeps failing with the dreaded error:
"fiddler.network.https> HTTPS handshake to google.com (for #1) failed. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception The client and server cannot communicate, because they do not possess a common algorithm"
After some hours of testing, I found a middle ground solution which seems to work with virtually all websites. The aim was to get the highest possible security with no errors in the log. Without needing to add any code, simply changing this line under Tools > Options > HTTPS > Protocols is what worked for me (just copy and paste it):
<client>;ssl3;tls1.1;tls1.2
Basically removed the ssl2 and tls1.0 protocols which leaves us with some pretty decent security and no errors so far. Having spent hours of frustration with this error, hope someone out there might find this useful, and a big thanks to EricLaw who discovered the root of the problem.
Yes I too have seen this error when working outside of fiddler and it was connected with AuthenticateAsServer but only went wrong when using IE10 and not Chrome as the browser.
Odd thing is that it did not break all the time for IE10 using SslProtocols.Tls for the protocol so I will add a bit of code to switch the protocol if one fails
The protocol that can be used also seems to change on if you are using a proxy server like Fiddler or using an invisible server by hijacking the DNS via the hosts file to divert traffic to the server

WCF with SSL- not finding localhost

I'm trying to get WCF to use SSL with ANYTHING for FIVE DAYS now. I've gone through countless walkthroughs, generated more certificates than a mail order diploma company, even tried hot fixes. After working with MS dev tools since VB1, I am now considering flipping burgers as a career option. WCF, as far as I can see, is a complete lemon.
Anyway, to get to my actual question: If I run through this walkthrough:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff648840.aspx
I get to step 11 (adding the service reference) and get "There was an error downloading metadata from the address. Please verify that you have entered a valid address".
Details of the error gives: There was an error downloading 'https://localhost/SSL6/Service.svc'.
Unable to connect to the remote server
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:443
I'm using VS2008 on Windows 7 with IIS7. I followed the walkthrough exactly (apart from step 5 which was different on IIS7- I went into "SSL Settings" for the VD), so it shows my config (yes I've used httpsGetEnabled and mexHttpsBinding).
Anyone care to save my sanity and job?
EDIT: If I go into IIS, select the VD in content view, right-click on the svc file and browse, I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". Chrome gives "Google Chrome could not connect to localhost".
IE troubleshooting gives "the remote device or resource won't accept the connection".
If I browse using the IP address rather than using localhost via http, it says that it's secured with https ok. If I browse using the IP and https, I get HTTP error 503. The service is unavailable.
So it looks to me like a DNS issue combined with... something.
When I try to just run the service site project, I get "Unable to start debugging on the web server. Unable to connect to the web server. Verify that the web server is running and that incoming HTTP requests are not blocked by a firewall". I've checked the firewall and it's ok.
Finally cracked it. There were at least three issues at play.
1) A DNS issue of some kind with localhost. It's still unresolved on my machine, but I can work around it by using the IP addy.
2) Another issue may have been that apparently, WCF doesn't work with IIS 7 OOTB. So you need to run command prompt as administrator, and run the following command -
"%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\ServiceModelReg.exe" -r -y
3) After I got through the certificate stuff I was still getting HTTP error 503, "Service unavailable". That ended up being leftovers from my previous attempts, still listening to ports:
http://blogs.msdn.com/webtopics/archive/2010/02/17/a-not-so-common-root-cause-for-503-service-unavailable.aspx
So to get a hello world level service happening with WCF and SSL took me a whole week, and in my travels I discovered many pilgrims who had taken about the same amount of time. Microsoft: You have failed.
Are you using IIS or self hosting? If you're using IIS, it sounds like it's incorrectly configured, because it seems it's not accepting connections on port 443; I guess you're probably missing a protocol binding (https to port 443). There's a detailed discussion of setting up SSL on IIS7 here that might be useful.
Of course, you could easily verify this using the browser, you should be able to connect to the site using SSL from it.
When I have had this error occur, I have found it very useful to run the service from Visual Studio to get additional information. Right-click on the service, and then select Debug -> Start New Instance from the pop-up menu. VS will launch the service using the WcfTestClient.exe.
WcfTestClient will display all the services and endpoints in your service project. A healthy launch will list your services in the a panel on the left, and provide a Start Page tab in a panel on the right. What will happen in your case, however, is that you'll get a list of services in a panel on the top and an "Additional Information" box along the bottom. Your problem service(s) will have a Status of Error.
Click on a problem service in the upper panel, and the Additional Information box will fill with an error message and stack trace. The message will tell you exactly what that problem mex (metadata exchange) address is. That may be enough of a hint for you to solve the problem. If not, post the Additional Information here and I'll be happy to take a look at it.
