PhantomJS failing to open HTTPS site

Question

I\'m using the following code based on loadspeed.js example to open up a https:// site which requires http server authentication as well.

var page = require(         


        

Answer 1

The problem is most likely due to SSL certificate errors. If you start phantomjs with the --ignore-ssl-errors=yes option, it should proceed to load the page as it would if there were no SSL errors:

phantomjs --ignore-ssl-errors=yes [phantomOptions] script.js [scriptOptions]

I've seen a few websites having problems with incorrectly implementing their SSL certificates or they've expired, etc. A complete list of command line options for phantomjs is available here: http://phantomjs.org/api/command-line.html. I hope this helps.
