Our developers are unable to download any symbols from http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols in the past few days.
Here is some output from WinDBg with the !sym noisy option enabled:

Taking the output ("file not found") at face value, the symbols are not available on the Microsoft symbol store.
Can this be confirmed on the Microsoft side?
I want to confirm it is NOT a proxy or connection issue. The internet proxy configuration has not changed in the past few days.
