No HTTP(S) requests in Safari ever complete (unlike other apps)

Originator:alanhogan

Status:Open Resolved:
Product:Safari Product Version:9.1.1
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Didn't Try
 
Summary:
Inexplicably, every application on my computer, except for Safari, can use the Internet just fine: Twitter, App Store, Google Chrome, etc. But in Safari, no matter the web page or domain, AJAX requests never finish and page loads never finish. Attempting to load or reload a page results in one HTTP or HTTPS GET request that never finishes or even times out (at least, I'm looking at Inspector and this request is already 3 minutes old and still supposedly loading).

Steps to Reproduce:
I have no idea how to reproduce, although this happened immediately after I returned to the office after traveling with my laptop.

Toggling Wi-Fi on/off and toggling my company VPN on/off had no effect. 

I have not restarted the computer or Safari, but I fully expect that one or the other would fix the issue

Expected Results:
Safari can load pages when the computer is on the Internet

Actual Results:
Safari can't load any pages or data.

Version:
Version 9.1.1 (11601.6.17)
on OS X  El Capitan 10.11.5 (15F34)
