Feedback: Access Denied

[v-kydela]

When I go to any page on https://docs.microsoft.com it says 'Access Denied' and 'You don't have permission to access "http://docs.microsoft.com/" on this server.'

That's a bit curious for a few reasons. I understand the docs are supposed to be public so why would anyone need permission to access them on any server? Also, the URL it says I can't access is http even though it clearly says https in the address bar.

I'm connected to MSFTCORP (corp.microsoft.com). The problem occurs in both Chrome and Edge. I've tried signing in to different accounts on microsoft.com and it makes no difference. Clearing my browsing data makes no difference.

I've found one thing that fixes it temporarily. After I go to https://myaccess then docs.microsoft.com becomes available again. I'm guessing the myaccess authentication process somehow refreshes my permissions or something. Could there be an authentication bug?

EDIT: Since posting this issue I have lost the ability to fix it by going to the myaccess portal. However, I discovered that the issue is only present when I'm connected to MSFTCORP and not other networks.

Getting this as well. HTTP response included, as Akami is mentioned and is interesting.

curl -v 'https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/'
