safari can't open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection

This has started happening for most wordpress.com blogs I try to view. They load fine in Firefox and Chrome but in Safari I get 'safari can't open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection'. I have Safari 6.1.2. I've tried deleting cookies.plist from my Library, emptying the cache and restarting; no joy. Any suggestions please?

The only solution that worked for me was changing Apache server configuration of the <virtualhost> that was failing, by increasing the amount of time the server should wait for subsequent requests on a persistent connection, using the following directive:


KeepAliveTimeout 15

By default it's 5, which made it fail all the time.
