Safari can’t open the page.

[IJ Reilly]

Lately, I've been seeing this message an awful lot lately on the MacRumors message boards -- in fact, on nearly every link click or post. I've seen this message before, it seems to come in waves. As far as I can tell, it only happens here. Any explanations?

Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=2420893&posted=1#post2420893”. The error was: “bad server response” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1011) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.

Haven't seen that message at all, and I only run Safari.

Did you do a dev kit or build an alternate version of Safari? Naughty plug-ins?

Nope. I activated the Debug menu a long time ago, but I don't think that counts as naughtiness.

I'm mystified by the meaning of this message, and why I see it for significant stretches, then not at all for a long time -- and AFAIK, only here!

Reloading the page always work, BTW. Even more mystery!

I've actually seen that error message on a few different sites, not just MacRumors. I had seen it quite a bit in the past, but then Apple fixed it with one of their system updates. It seems like it is back again now ever since the last security update. Hopefully they will fix it again soon.

Hmm.. I too have the Debug menu on (all my boxes) and am fully up to date and still haven't seen this.

This is from left field.. How fast is your connection? Perhaps Safari expects an answer faster than the server is able to serve it? Though I guess not, I was surfing MR from bed the last week or so and I only have dial-up at home.

I haven't installed the most recent security update.

As for my net connection, it averages 1.3-1.4 kbps down.

I've seen it often, mainly on this site (then again, I am mainly on this site...).

I have Debug enabled as well as PithHelmet, which might be to blame.

All updates have been installed.

And IJ Reilly... did you really mean "1.3-1.4 kbps"?

 

[yellow]

As for my net connection, it averages 1.3-1.4 kbps down.

Kbps or Mbps?

Anyway.. also, no plug-ins here.

 

[yellow]

Dude.. you cursed me..

 

[IJ Reilly]

Kbps or Mbps?

Okay, okay, 1300-1400 kbps. Sheesh!

BTW, I haven't seen the message in a couple of hours now, so.... tag, you're it!

 

[yellow]

so.... tag, you're it!

Bastard!! I'm getting this 3 out of every 4 threads I try now..

Works fine here.
