I am unable to get Safari 4.1.3 running on Mac OS 10.4.11 to open secure pages. It just gives an error message.
'Safari can’t open the page "https://<address of page>” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection.'
OR
'Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.'

Is there anything I can do about that?
 
Did you just turn on a firewall lately or get a new router/firewall? I ask because https:// uses port 443.
 
No, neither. Safari 5.1.1 on my other Mac can open secure pages, and both are hooked up to the same router. I am using the Mac OS firewall. Opera and Firefox on the same computer are able to open secure pages.
 
Try turn off the firewall in the affected Mac just for a minute and see if Safari can open a secure https site.
 
I turned off the firewall (I use the Mac OS firewall) and reset Safari to clear all the private data. Neither helped.
