I am able to get a response with your first expression. But I am in version 16.1. Not sure what is wrong with your env or if it is a temporary issue. Lets wait for other people to comment on any known issue.

Can you try in any other env of urs either with same or diff version.

check the firewall status between the machine that is hosting appian server and the external world. I think firewall is blocking appian from loading the xml from an external web site
