Issue connecting to Army Knowledge Online website using GnuTLS

I am having trouble connecting to the Army Knowledge Online server
(www.us.army.mil) using Epiphany/GnuTLS 2.10.5 (Firefox and OpenSSL's
s_client work fine). I've brought this up with the AKO administrators,
but thought I'd mention it here too. AKO requires an account, but
the homepage is publically accessible. I tried troubleshooting using
gnutls-cli and got:

$ gnutls-cli -d 255 -p 443 www.us.army.mil
