Summary Secure HTTPS connections fail under some circumstances.

Description: Connection failures have been observed with a HTTPS proxy running on localhost. During the SSL handshake phase the proxy sometimes receives TWO subsequent client-hello messages on the same socket from Safari! This is a protocol violation and the proxy terminates the connection. Since the probability of the error to occur is higher when many connections and handshakes are initiated by Safari in a short timely manner, the problem could be caused by incorrectly implemented synchronization. It looks like a socket is reused for a new connection although it is still busy. The problem occurs with Safari on Mac OSX Tiger+Leopard and on Windows XP. Depends on: The page content. When the page contains many links and these are retrieved quickly and in parallel, the connections are more likely to fail. The observed misbehaviour is somehow timing-dependent and cannot be reproduced 100% identically.

This is definitely an issue in closed source Apple frameworks below WebKit. Could you please file a bug at <http://bugreport.apple.com> for Apple engineers who work on this code to investigate this issue? Closing as INVALID per our process, as it is not a WebKit issue.
