The trac.nginx.org domain isn't available via https.

The IP address trac.nginx.org maps to does have other sites 
answering on https/SNI though, and to avoid sending invalid 
certificate the "ssl_ciphers aNULL;" is used in the default server 
configuration.  This is what causes the message you see.

JFYI:

You can use something like

$ openssl s_client -connect trac.nginx.org:443 -servername trac.nginx.org -cipher aNULL

to establish a connection.  (Requests won't work though, as the 
same server also have "return 444;" in the configuration.)

When people try to use something they weren't asked to, it 
strikes back.
