DevTools security panel "Not secure" summary not helpful on HTTP/403 NetError page

Reported by bry...@gmail.com, May 2 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3087.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Visit website that has 'security' issue
2. Open dev tools, go to security tab
3. security overview just says 'page is not secure' with no good explanation of what's wrong/ 

What is the expected behavior?
As with Stable channel 58, expect dev tools to show why there is a security problem and details on this

What went wrong?
Not showing why Chrome thinks the page is insecure or details to troubleshoot

Did this work before? Yes 58

Chrome version: 60.0.3087.0  Channel: canary
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: 

I realize canary is bleeding edge, but wanted to make sure it's going to be difficult to resolve security issues if we cant see details.

I can't reproduce this; perhaps you're encountering a net error rather than an SSL interstitial.

Could you let me know what URLs you're having issues with?

This URL is an internal one, that i was testing for checking SHA-1 cert errors. So I can't share it, but here are the steps.

Visit site that redirected to SHA-1 site from SHA-2 site
See error regarding SHA-1 as  expected
Click continue under advanced to advance to new page
Click back to site that sprayed the error
In this case it is displaying a 403 error
When error 403 is displayed, it seems to just say insecure in dev tools but no details as normal

So it's sort of like a net error like Igar mentions, i.e. when you look at a site but you've lost network, but in this case it's if the site is giving back a 403 unauthorized error. When I revisit the same site later, when it does not generate a 403 error, I see the details. I can duplicate this in Chrome 58 as well. So Igar is kind of right, it behaves like this with a net error, but only when the site is giving a 403 error. Yesterday I did not correlate this only occurring when the site was giving back an http error code.

Indeed, this is similar to the net error case.
We want to improve it, but normal pages are a priority.
