Website will not load in Opera

I came across the strangest problem. Some websites are no longer viewable through Opera (I am using Opera 11.60). I get "connection closed by remote server" error. I initially thought that it is a problem with the website but that is not the case since it loads perfectly find in every other browser. I tried changing the useragent to IE or FF but it didn't work.

Here is the website: https://eee.uci.edu/

Can anyone tell me what the problem might be.

I download and installed Opera 11.52 again and it works perfectly. Therefore this is clearly a problem with Opera 11.60. I also tested Opera 12 and that seems to have the same problem. It seems that opera's compatibility with various websites is worsening with every update.

Firefox loads the site like eee.uci.edu, like my.opera.com/LorenzoCelsi/blog/.
My guess is Opera cannot properly handle the "eee." part.

I have been looking at the beta versions of Opera in the hope that future builds will fix this issue, but no luck. Therefore I decided to try to get more information about the problem by messing around with opera settings. I finally realized that the http version of the website (http://eee.uci.edu/) loads fine but has a redirect script which immediately redirects to https://eee.uci.edu/. The https website is the one that doesn't load for some reason (I get "Connection Closed by Remote Server" error).
I know for sure that it is not a profile related issue since I have the same problem on other computers.
Again, everything up to Opera 11.52 works fine, but every build after that fails to load this website (all other browsers that I have tried work just fine).

If anyone has any idea on how to fix this, please let me know.
