Cannot navigate to a page

[egeulgen]

I'm trying access a web service (https://spot.cgsmd.isi.edu/submit.php) using RSelenium with PhantomJS. I don't encounter any issue when using Chrome but with PhantomJS, I cannot navigate to this web page.

I thought it could be because of "https://" so with help from this forum I added the options below. Still not working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Best, -E

Operating System

macOS Sierra 10.12.6

Selenium Server version

Selenium Server version: 3.5.1

Browser version

chrome 60.0.3112.101

Other driver version

PhantomJS 2.1.1

Expected behaviour:

navigate to "https://spot.cgsmd.isi.edu/submit.php"

Actual behaviour:

stays at "about:blank"

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

remDrv <- rsDriver(browser = "phantomjs", port = 4444L,
                   extraCapabilities = list("--ignore-ssl-errors=true", "--ssl-protocol=tlsv1", "--web-security=no"))

remDrv$client$navigate("https://spot.cgsmd.isi.edu/submit.php")
#### remDrv$client$navigate("https://duckduckgo.com") ## DOES WORK

remDrv$client$getCurrentUrl()

[1] "about:blank"
