Since Mac OS X 10.3.9 and later came out, I have often experienced
problems with many secure sites which results in Safari displaying
the following:
***
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “https://www.abc.com” because the network
connection was reset, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy.
You might be able to open the page later.
***
These will either occur when trying to log in, or will happen after a
successful login when jumping to a different page on the same site.
In fact it has become so commonplace nowadays that I switch to
Firefox before bothering to visit such a site.
Interestingly, I sometimes get an error being reported in Safari's
Activity window "POSIX error: Connection reset by peer" on a sub page
that I am trying to go to. If I then double-click that page in the
Activity window it will come up OK.
I really don't believe the servers are busy and I think there has
been some kind of regression in Webkit 312 and later. I never had
problems in 10.3.8 and earlier.
Since these are secure sites (often banking sites) it is impossible
to provide a test case. However, if you bank with HSBC in the uk (or
maybe even in the US), you may be able to reproduce this yourselves.
