Web reader cannot open cn.nytimes.com ?

[Phong]

Any one having problems opening cn.nytimes.com with their web reader ?
I can open other pages fine (xinhuanet.com, for example).

Interestingly enough, Safari cannot open cn.nytimes.com either. I get "Safari cannot open the page because the network connection is lost". Chrome opens the page fine.

I am running iSO 8.3 on my iPad. Trying to figure which version of Pleco, don't know how.

Are you in China? Might be getting blocked if so, though it's curious that Chrome would still work. (different proxy / VPN settings, maybe?)

I am in the US.

I observe the same problem with cn.nytimes.com. Cannot load via Safari, nor Pleco, but can load in Chrome.

However, it did not load in Mercury until I explicitly changed the User Agent to something non-IOS. Same with iCabMobile.

So, it doesn't appear to be Pleco's issue, but rather something related to the iOS browser being identified as iOS.
