Hi,
 The problem seems to be the support for TLS 1.2. It seems that epiphany
sets a priority string of "NORMAL:!VERS-TLS1.1:!VERS-TLS1.0". Thus the
allowed versions are now TLS 1.2 and SSL 3.0. The servers do not support
TLS 1.2 thus falling back to TLS 1.0 which is not supported. A quick fix
would be to add !VERS-TLS1.2 to epiphany (I have no idea where it is).


regards,
Nikos
