Python: Selenium with PhantomJS empty page source

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-windows\phantomjs.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.

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)

driverPhantom = webdriver.PhantomJS(driverLocation, service_args=['--ignore-ssl-errors=true', '--ssl-protocol=any'])      # initaling web driver for PhantomJs

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-windows\phantomjs.exe', service_args=['--ignore-ssl-errors=true', '--ssl-protocol=any'])

Using service_args=['--ignore-ssl-errors=true'] did the trick !

browser = webdriver.PhantomJS('phantomjs-1.9.7-windows\phantomjs.exe', service_args=['--ignore-ssl-errors=true'])
