Query

Is anyone else having problems loading twitter.com and pages linked with its url shortener t.co? (This is with a browser, not a twitter app.) What I’m seeing is that sometimes the load will hang. If I retry it a few times or wait for a couple of minutes it works again. Sometimes I get a message like

Safari can’t open the page “https://t.co/RXqLfv94n2” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding.

after which I can load the page. Other times it just starts working.

Looking at it with a line monitor, it appears to hang during the TLS negotiation. It’s acting like the server is hanging and then restarting or maybe recovering from a resource exhaustion.

This is with a Mac running the latest OS X with a standard install. Google finds a few similar complaints but I can’t tell if the problem they’re reporting is the same one I’m experiencing. If you’ve seen this problem, could you leave a comment so I don’t spend time trying to solve a problem that’s not under my control?

Thanks.
