--- Comment #1 from Alexey Proskuryakov <ap at webkit.org> ---
I cannot reproduce this issue, http://devicefinder.eleboards.com opens normally in Safari on OS X Yosemite for me.

Is there an entry for eleboards.com in your ~/Library/Cookies/HSTS.plist file? This behavior is consistent with eleboards.com previously sending a Strict-Transport-Security HTTP response header to you - if it was marked "with subdomains", then devicefinder.eleboards.com is also subject to the restriction.

I verified that eleboards.com doesn't send this header now, so it was probably a temporary mistake made by the webmaster. Alternatively, only some pages on the site have it, and I just didn't happen to open the ones that do. One way or another, this is correct behavior for a web browser. All browsers that have seen such a response in the past will be affected.

Please see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security> for more information about strict transport security.

A workaround is to remove the HSTS.plist file, and then execute this command from Terminal:

killall -9 cookied
