var page = require('webpage').create(); page.open("https://www.brightflair.com", function(status) { if (status !== 'success') { console.log('Unable to load the address!', status, this); phantom.exit(1); } else { console.log("DONE!"); phantom.exit(); } } In the above code *(render.js)*, a simple request to https://brightflair.com is made. The success parameter comes back as "fail", but I can't work out why. I have tried running *phantomjs --ssl-protocol=any render.js* but the same thing happens. Any ideas? Thanks.
