GoDaddy Serves Blank Pages to Safari & Opera

zackmac writes "For over two weeks domain registrar GoDaddy has been serving blank pages to Safari and Opera users who attempt to access sites using its domain forwarding and masking service. GoDaddy is blaming Apple as the source of the problem, and with nowhere to turn, Mac users are flocking to Apple's support forums to discuss the issue in-depth. Apple has so far been unresponsive and GoDaddy has directed affected customers to contact Apple Support. An inconvienent workaround is to open the website first in Firefox or Internet Explorer and then the page will load in Safari or Opera. Speculation abounds as to the cause of the problem and how to fix it. The current belief is malformed headers, an invalid 302 header with a bogus location and a redirect loop."

Is there some kind of hidden meaning to this...Anti-Mac GODaddy anyone?

I also use domain masking/redirection from godaddy, but when I connect with Opera it seems to work just fine. Has the problem been fixed already or am I just lucky ;-)?

Does this work for you too?

You got it wrong. It's like this...

I work for GoDaddy, so I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies. Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about.

But trust me. You dont.

I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you dont know what you are talking about. This is how bad info gets passed around. If you dont know about the topic, don't make yourself sound like you do. Because some Slashdotters will believe anything they hear.

Let's make history and mod someone down after he asked for it.

"BUT MY 0.25% of the market share browser doesn't work flawlessly, waaaaaaah"

Wait. Which browser is the only one to pass Acid2? Oh, that's right, Safari!
