Self signed SSL certificates in phantomjs / selenium

[ti2m]

Hi,
I can't seem to get self signed SSL certificates working with selenium. Phantom needs to be called with option --ignore-ssl-errors=true and this works if I start phantom myself on the command line and connect to it with wd. I can't get selenium to start phantom with these options though. Selenium runs with -trustAllSSLCertificates but that doesn't seem to be enough. WD sents

POST /session {"desiredCapabilities":{"browserName":"phantomjs","acceptSslCerts":true,"version":"","javascriptEnabled":true,"platform":"ANY"}}

but it seems to ignore acceptSslCerts as the session returned has with acceptSslCerts=false

Any clue where to look? The python binding supports service_args, couldn't find anything like it for JS. Also found the ghostdriver option (https://cdn.rawgit.com/detro/ghostdriver/master/binding/java/docs/javadoc/index.html) but I guess thats not the right place to look. If I follow https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/DesiredCapabilities then acceptSslCerts should be the way to solve this, but how to set it?

Thanks for any advice.

Check the Readme in the ghostdriver project, you'll find the capability you
need.

Thanks for your answer, read the readme before though. It seems to be all about the format. Found an answer by accident over here, if anyone else is running into this issue angular/protractor#150 (comment):

browser.init({
  browserName: 'phantomjs', 
  'phantomjs.cli.args': ['--ignore-ssl-errors=true',  '--web-security=false']
}
