Bad Request (Request Header Too Long)

I'm getting this error message when I try to either place an order through websites (clicking on a buy button of some sort that should take me to the websites shopping cart) or when I try to sign up for something through websites (join an e-zine list):

Bad Request (Request Header Too Long)

I can take the web page info, copy and paste into Firefox and it works just fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...

From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab. Where you see "Web content", make sure the top 3 buttons are selected.

Relaunch Safari and try a website shopping cart.

If that doesn't help, from the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Empty Cache or Option + Command + E on your keyboard.

Hi Carolyn,

Thanks for the welcome and the helps.

I looked at Web Content and all top three were/are checked

Same error.

I cleared the Cache.

Same error.

Any other suggestions? I'm about to dump Safari and just go with Firefox. No troubles there.

Just frustrated.

Thanks

Dawna

Here's a link I get when I get the Bad Request:

All of them have the http://www.mcssl.com/SecureClient...

Any suggestion?

Hi Dawn --

If you go to Safari preferences
(Safari pull down menu above)
then to Security > Show Cookies,
type in mcssl and delete all the cookies that show up.
Restart Safari.

Did you deliberately sign up for that?
Or you were "caught" by it mistakenly?
