Fling website "Access is denied" with Safari 8???

I am trying to access Flings – VMware Labs in Safari 8, but I'm getting the page that says this:

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://labs.vmware.com/flings" on this server.

Reference #18.a1f34317.1436275172.784d6bb

But using any other browser allows me to browse it.

What is going on? What's so special about the website that the site is blocking Safari?

Resolved this by clearing website data. (Safari menu -> Preferences -> Privacy tab -> Remove all Website data) It does clear out your cookies, but at least it made the site working again. Not clearing it for years probably caused the problem.
