Summary Safari short timeout causes many pages to fail to load

Backstory: Safari 1 had an annoying bug where it would timeout and fail to load pages if the server did not respond within 60 seconds. This spawned a number of third-party products which hacked a reasonable default back into safari. Eventually, safari developers realized that this was an unbelievably dumb idea and set the timeout to 1 year. Today: This timeout is back. So access to any page which, say, performs a log search, or (and this one is a real gem) uploads firmware to a router or other device, craps out at 60 seconds. If it happens to be a router you were updating, you are badly and irreversibly screwed. Thus the high priority assigned to this bug.

I believe that the timeout to which you refer lives in CFNetwork, rather than WebKit, which makes this unlikely to be something that WebKit can address.

OK, so how does one report a bug in CFNetwork?

You should file a bug report at http://bugreport.apple.com/. Including a URL that can be used to reproduce the problem will make it easier to investigate.
