Some sites won't load in Safari, compression issue I think
In the last few weeks I have found that Safari won't load pages from some sites, or it will load the page but fail to load the css/javascript files etc. In the console log it's all '[Error] Failed to load resource: The network connection was lost.'.
When I investigate the specific files or pages that don't load, I find they are compressed, so Safari seems to be having trouble specifically with compression. Furthermore, I can replicate this issue with some websites that I host on my own server, by switching HTTP compression on and off on the web server. With HTTP compression on, the pages fail, with it off, they load fine.
I'm just opening up the pages in an alternative browser when I run into ones that don't load but I'd rather find a fix for Safari. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If not then I guess something is corrupt in my own Safari installation and the only option is to reinstall OSX (which makes me nervous about losing data) unless there's a way to install Safari only or otherwise fix it?
