PhantomJS and SlimerJS fail to render some sites

Question

I didn't get any output file (image) when trying to execute render_multi_url.js in phantomjs or slimerjs for some url like:

www.tamasoft.co.jp/en/general-info/unicode.html
www.bbc.co.uk

I am using the latest version of both phantomjs and slimerjs. render_multi_url.js is the original script shipped with phantomjs. Under slimerjs I get no image at all and under phantomjs I get partial image (over 9mb). Why do I get this behavior?

So what I need to change or improve to get this script working on any web page?

I get Rendered 'www.tamasoft.co.jp/en/general-info/unicode.html' at 'rendermulti-1.jpg' but no 'rendermulti-1.jpg in the file system — alioui, Oct 15 '14 at 15:40
Ok, it doesn't work with slimerjs 0.9.2 on windows. I haven't found an open issue. — Artjom B., Oct 15 '14 at 16:03

I think you should open issues on the respective github pages. — Artjom B., Oct 17 '14 at 08:24

The root cause of the issue, that SSL3 (used by default in P-js) was changed to TLS1 (or better use 'any'). To fix that you should specify the SslProtocol option.

This is the way for c#:

var service = PhantomJSDriverService.CreateDefaultService(driverPath);
service.SslProtocol = "any"

In command line you can use

--ssl-protocol='any'

No, doesn't work. Probably because those sites don't use SSL/TLS. – Artjom B. Oct 20 '14 at 16:18
