I have problems with testing my site hosted on IIS Express via Browserstack. When I try to open it using Safari 8 (on latest osx) I get message: "Safari cant connect to the server". I have tried on other OS or other browsers and it works, but under latest safari it wont... Does anyone know what the problem is? Im using BS extensions for Firefox or for Chrome. My serves is running, I have access to it via local browser.

Mukesh here from BrowserStack.

For now, Safari 8 on Yosemite allows Local testing via a limited number of ports. The ports that are most easy to remember are 80,3000, 4000, 5000, 8000 and 8080.

Please note: Public URLs can be tested seamlessly across all ports.
