"Safari cannot open the page – 'too many redirects'"

Problem
iPad issue impacting our secure website clients. Error message reads “Safari cannot open the page – ‘too many redirects’”
History:
Recently, some of our secure website clients using Mac/Safari 4.0.5 faced issues, all related to one common problem that went away with Safari 5.0 & Mac OS updates. On all the three occasions, we observed that the error occurred when the HTTPS redirects contained the port number in the URL. During our discussions with Applecare personnel (case number was 350144) we understood that there have been problems with Safari 4.0.5 "not being able to handle port numbers in the URL properly". The issue went away with the launch of Safari 5 and Mac OS updates which followed the browser release.
Understandably, the resolution to the issue was fairly opaque and if I were to hazard a guess on what the problem could have been it should probably be something to do with Safari not being able to read cookies after these redirects.
Questions
1) Have any of you encountered such a problem on Mac/Safari 4.0.5 and are now facing on iPad?
2) Any workarounds / solutions / learning that you have come across and can share
Thanks!!

Hi and welcome...
On a Mac. HTTPS redirects can be the result of proxies. Open System Preferences / Network. Click: Advanced tab then click: Proxies
If any of the boxes on the left under: *Select a protocol to configure* are selected, deselect, click OK.
Here's just one example of the HTTPS / Proxy issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12255869&#12255869
For Safari - iPad. Tap Settings / Wi Fi / Select your network by tapping the blue arrow. Configure network settings there.

Safari: "Could not open the page, too many redirects"

IPAD - Safari: "Could not open the page, too many redirects"
Only one site - but this site works great on other IPAD

What I have done - with no positive results:
Settings | Safari | Clear History | Clear cookies & Data
Also used different WIFI networks

How do I solve problem that safari cannot open because of too many redirects?

How do I fix problem that safari can't open because of too many redirects?

Try clearing the browser cache and delete any cookies for that site. If that doesn't resolve it, then that's a problem with the web-site itself, so unless it is your own website, you can't fix it.
Often it's a bug in the website code that detects what device/browser you are using and it gets stuck in a re-direct loop. You could contact the website developers and inform them.

This has recently (May 2012) become a routine stubling block in Safari. Every hour or two, I have to quit Safari and restart it, just to fill out my timecard. Since iCloud will not be syncing my Safari bookmarks, I will be switching to either Netscape or Google Chrome.

My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues.

Hello Beckieor,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning network issues:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found

Trying to open Outlook Webmail App from Ipad 2 and am receiving the Error Message "Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found.
I have tried resetting my ipad 2 to no avail. Internet connection is working and am able to get into other apps/sites. Read older posting that this could be a DNS issues???
Help?

The only other thing I can think of is to try a device reset (be sure and also close off all running apps beforehand):
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found (Cellular Data)

Hi there.
I'm having some trouble loading a website (that I've built) from Safari on my iPhone via cellular/4G, as the topic states, it comes up with the error:
Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found
All other websites load normally, it just seems to be my specific site that won't load.
The website opens in Safari on my phone if I'm connected to wifi but it doesn't load when using cellular data. It opens from computers and I've tested it on different phones/networks (for instance, it works in Chrome on a friends Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 using EE 4G). I have an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.2. I'm on EE 4GEE.
I think it might be something to do with DNS either from EE's side, or the DNS settings I've used in cPanel for the website...
Any thoughts / suggestions on how I can fix this issue?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Rob.

Thanks for the update. You might also consider using iTunes and Internet Radio:
Not all radio stations are available though, since they want you to see advertisements in addition to listening to them

Safari cannot open the page ~ The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)

Help! I was cruzing along just fine and went out tonight only to receive the message above:
Cannot open Page
Safari cannot open the page
The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)."
I have had all the Apple iPhone phone. Have never encountered anything like this.
All systems are GO as soon as I log on to wifi.
Can anyone help, please.

I am also fixed. I also loaded Onavo, but that was the other day ... this is what I did with the help of online chat with AT&T ...
I went to:
Settings
Wifi
I selected the network I was working on by hitting the blue arrow located on right side
At the detail page of that network I scolled down to the bottom to find HTTP Proxy boxes
I was on Off and changed it to Auto and it worked!
I was soo jazzed!!
Instructions said if it was already on AUTO, to change it to Manual and make your Port = 80 but I didn't have to do that!
YIPPIE!! I'm a new man!!
Go to settings -----> WI-FI -----> select the network you're using ------> hit the blue arrow located on the right-side of the network name (ie: show details of that network), this takes you to another page.
--------> at the bottom of the page you'll see "HTTP Proxy" boxes (located below the "renew lease" button) ---------------> change the proxy to AUTO. Note: if you're already at AUTO, change it to "Manual" and make your Port = 80.

HT1695 Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet

I recently bought iPhone 4 which is still "Locked" for cellular carriers in my country.It's a jailbroken phone.Therefor I connected to internet using a hotspot in my laptop via wi-fi.I'm using windows 7 in my laptop.I was able to connect to the internet without any problem till yesterday,but now I'm getting this error message "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet".I reset my network data and reboot my phone and router several times but still having same problem.I can see the wi-fi icon in my phone with full signal strength.Probably I got this problem after downloading the crack app called "iThemes",but I'm not 100% sure about this.
How can I fix this problem.
Thank you.

Hacking an iPhone is against Apple's license agreement for the iPhone which you have admitted to violating on a forum that is provided and moderated by Apple, and is not supported by Apple directly or indirectly via this forum.
You are on your own - contact whoever you downloaded the hacking garbage from for help with this, which has also made your iPhone very insecure removing all the built-in security included with iOS.
