Bug Description

When loading the URL https://bonnus.ulb.uni-bonn.de/ and some more,
dwb from Ubuntu Trusty fails with an error message:

SSL handshake failed [Try again]

Other web browsers like firefox have no problem showing this URL.
Newer versions of dwb (Debian Jessie, for example) also don't show
this bug.

Does this also happen with other webkit based browsers?

midori 0.4.3+dfsg-0.1 works fine. Which other browsers should I test?

uzbl, surf and luakit are other browsers using webkit. fwiw, I can't reproduce it on 14.10.

Test result summary (all tested software from latest Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty LTS)):

dwb failed
midori passed
uzbl failed
surf passed
luakit passed

14.10 is obviously sufficiently new. As I said in my initial report, newer software no longer shows this issue.
