Could you provide a net-internals log as described in
http://dev.chromium.org/for-testers/providing-network-details ? The events
you've included in the report are helpful, but the socket events might also
help figure out what's going on.

The server is vulnerable to CVE-2009-3555 insecure renegotiation
vulnerability, doesn't support secure renegotiation, supports only SSL 3.0
(insecure) and TLS 1.0, intolerant to TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 ClientHello, uses
static RSA key exchange and supports only RC4 cipher, which I disabled in
both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome because of its weakness. Regarding
my last statement, read more:
http://threatpost.com/attack-exploits-weakness-rc4-cipher-decrypt-user-sessions-031413/77628

Using Firefox with Calomel SSL validation addon, I can see the score is 23%.

Full security report here:
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=webadvisor.ctcd.org
As you can see, all modern clients get "Protocol or cipher suite mismatch".

What's the point of asking network logs? I wonder how long Chromium bug
tracker will suffer from reports about these obsolete and FUBAR servers run
by educational institutions. Enough!

nefink: chrodev2015 isn't affiliated with the Chromium project. We do
appreciate your report, even if it seems the server is partly at fault. It
does look like the server is intolerant to TLS 1.1 and above. This is a bug
in the server and should be fixed; if you contact the people maintaining
the website and ask them to update their software, that may well resolve
the issue.

That said, I am able to connect to it fine on my machine, so there may be
some additional issue. Chrome, like other browsers, has a fallback
mechanism to workaround such buggy servers. I get ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED on
the first two connection attempts, but the TLS 1.0 leg of the fallback
succeeds, while you seem to be finishing with ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED. Would
you be willing to attach a full net-internals dump? That might have more
information. Feel free to email me privately if you do not wish to post the
log publicly.

Do you know of any interesting configuration on your machine or network,
like a firewall or proxy or anti-virus?

Thanks!
