kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 302

Yes -- the dreaded kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 302 message rears it's ugly head again. I've done searches and I've seen the posts in the Apple Discussions, but they are all in iPhone related forums, and quite frankly I think this is a Mac OS X Leopard problem, perhaps introduced with the iPhone 3G.

In my case: I have the problem from time to time, but most recently when requesting http://www.mmo-champion.com from both Safari 3.1.2 and Firefox 3.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.5. This worked fine before, but not sure what changed (and when) that caused it not to work any more. I can access other sites just fine.

I'm set up with O2 Broadband in the UK, and am using a double-NAT network solution to get to the internet (Public -> O2 Router -> AirPort Extreme -> laptop) and I don't have problems with other sites. I've tried restarting the network router (both soft and hard restarts) but it makes no difference. Could it be the web site? Maybe. I mean, I also have a Windows PC that can access the sites just fine on the same network... but perhaps the web site is doing something to offend Mac OS X, because other web sites work just fine.

Google search yields little help, which surprises me given the incredible number of folks that have this problem with blog-related sites, both on the iPhone and in laptops/desktops. With this much reporting, Apple should have at least recognized there's an issue.

So, to recap: I use Leopard, own an iPhone 3G and have iTunes 8 and iPhone 2.1 software installed. I cannot get to certain sites, with mmo-champion.com being the latest exhibit. The error I get, after a long time waiting (~120 seconds) is:

"Safari can’t open the page “ http://mmo-champion.com/”. The error was: “Operation could not be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 302.)” (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork:302) Please choose Report Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message."

Firefox reports something similar, but not the same exact error.

Any opinions would be well received.

Thanks,
Daniel

Edit: I didn't mean to sound arrogant or condescending; if I came across that way, my apologies. I'm more interested in the details of the problem, as opposed to seeking its solution. I just want to understand what's happening. And I think the PDF that explains these errors is lacking of the kind of details I seek. If someone knows what's going on, I'd love to read about it. While I have my Windows PC I'll be able to get my WoW news just fine 🙂
