This happens on Ubuntu 14.04, but not on 12.04 or Mac OS 10.10. The only things I know is that this does not seem to be a networking or SSL problem, as both Ubuntu installations were located in a VM on Mac OS 10.10. I also called PhantomJS manually using the same command as the WCAG2 test runner uses, but with SSL errors ignored. I tried a number of different hosts within my own country as well as on different continents, but the requests consistently failed for all hosts on Ubuntu 12.04 only.

To reproduce these failures:

  • Create a bare Vagrant VM using the ubuntu/trusty64 base box.
  • vagrant ssh
  • Clone Quail.
  • npm install and grunt build
  • Run a Quail test.
