Maybe someone here can help me with MY weird Safari issue: http://admin.flowgo.com/cms/console/ It's a corporate, protected server. But at the very least, one should be prompted to log into it. Safari acts like there's nothing to be found there; it simply waits and waits and waits and never loads anything. Every other browser I've tried connects instantly. Obviously, my own cache flush trick and user-agent changing hasn't solved this for me. Anyone? Awesome! Glad it worked.

Thanks. Bizarre… but thanks. I didn't know Safari hung onto DNS caches outside of the OS-level stuff that other browsers would use, or that those caches might survive restarting the computer.

Could it have been a brief hiccup that needs a little ~ dscacheutil -flushcache to resolve? I find sometimes that Safari hangs onto DNS caches too long.

Barzeski Mon, 05 May 2008 23:39:31 +0000 http://nslog.com/2008/05/05/bizarre_safari_bug#comment-47535 I thought perhaps it was some weird InputManager deal, but I have three (1PasswdIM, Inquisitor, SpeedDownload Enhancer) and disabling them doesn't resolve the issue. Both my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro exhibit the issue. My iPhone does not, nor does Safari on my Mac Pro in Windows (via Parallels). My hosts file has nothing about Comcast in it. Heck, it's got one redirection script in it, nothing else.
