I’m having trouble with Selenium and PhantomJS on Windows7 when I want to get the source of the page of an URL.
browser.page_source returns only <html><head></head></html>. I’ve put a sleep before browser.page_source but it didn’t help.
This is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.PhantomJS('phantomjs-1.9.7-windowsphantomjs.exe')
url = 'myurl'
browser.get(url)
print browser.page_source
On Linux with the same version of PhantomJS it works perfectly. Also it works on Windows Server 2003.

Method 1
by default phantomjs use SSLv3, but many sites after bug in ssl migrate to tls. That’s why you has blank page.
use service_args=['--ignore-ssl-errors=true', '--ssl-protocol=any']
browser = webdriver.PhantomJS('phantomjs-1.9.7-windowsphantomjs.exe', service_args=['--ignore-ssl-errors=true', '--ssl-protocol=any'])
Method 2
Using service_args=['--ignore-ssl-errors=true'] did the trick !
browser = webdriver.PhantomJS('phantomjs-1.9.7-windowsphantomjs.exe', service_args=['--ignore-ssl-errors=true'])
Method 3
driverPhantom = webdriver.PhantomJS(driverLocation, service_args=['--ignore-ssl-errors=true', '--ssl-protocol=any']) # initaling web driver for PhantomJs
Worked for me.
Method 4
increasing the screen size as below worked for me:
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(path2phantom, service_args=['--ignore-ssl-errors=true', '--ssl-protocol=any'])
driver.set_window_size(2000, 1500)
