Problem loading HTTPS pages with Safari and Chrome

My Safari and Chrome refuse to load https pages, as for example, on Apple servers as (https://store.apple.com).

If I try it using Camino or Firefox, it works, but Safari and Chrome (that is webkit (= safari) based don't.

If I just type https://store.apple.com on the URL box, Safari and Chrome tell me that the server cannot be reached. The problem is that this https page is used during checkout, so I am not able to finish any order. I have even tried firefox on Ubuntu, inside VirtualBox and it works on the same machine. The problem is just Safari/Chrome.

The problem is not just with Apple. The same problem occurs with some other stores and sites using https around the web.

I use Mac OS X 10.6.4 with the latest updates.

How can I solve this? Any clues? THANKS.
 
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW !!!!!!!!

YOU ARE THE KING!


THANKS! I am fighting this for a week!

but tell me just why just Safari and Chrome are picky about this?
 
How may I worship thee O Bringer of Light into Darkness?

I have had a similar problem with Safari, Firefox and Chrome but not restricted to secure pages. I have been doggedly chasing answers through forums for day after day and tried x number of solutions and nothing worked UNTIL NOW YOU BEAUTY!!!!! I am over the moon.

I cannot thank you enough.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help other users.
 
I am having the same problem but over wifi. I tried changing the MTU setting for wifi (and ethernet) to 2000 but the problem persists.

Any suggestions? I'm running 10.7.2.
 
Oops, I guess I misread '1200' as '2000'. Nonetheless I tried 1200 (MTU for wifi can only go down to 1280) and the problem still persists.
