I need to get headless chrome to ignore certificate errors. The option is ignored when running in headless mode, and the driver returns empty html body tags when navigating to an https resource.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head></head><body></body></html> This is how I am configuring my chrome driver.
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions(); chromeOptions.addArguments("--headless", "--disable-gpu", "--window-size=1920,1200","--ignore-certificate-errors"); DesiredCapabilities cap=DesiredCapabilities.chrome(); cap.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, chromeOptions); cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true); cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_INSECURE_CERTS, true); chromeHeadlessDriver = new ChromeDriver(cap); This thread confirms that --ignore-certificate-errors is ignored in headless mode.
They mention about devtool protocol.
Is it something I can invoke from java? Are there any other alternatives?

You can tell Chrome to ignore all SSL certificate errors by passing the following at the command line at launch. If you're on Windows simply right-click into the properties of the launcher. Then add --ignore-certificate-errors in the target field. Then restart Chrome.
Navigate to the site with the cert you want to trust, and click through the usual warnings for untrusted certificates. In the address bar, right click on the red warning triangle and "Not secure" message and, from the resulting menu, select "Certificate" to show the certificate.
We're working on a project that requires to automatically login to a Google Account and few other services. However, as you may know, Headless Chrome does not remember cookies from previous instances, so we have to re-login to that account every time when we started a new Chrome instance.
There is an excellent article on medium.com by sahajamit
and i have tested the below code, it works perfectly fine with self-signed certificate https://badssl.com/
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false); options.addArguments("--headless", "--window-size=1920,1200","--ignore-certificate-errors"); DesiredCapabilities crcapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome(); crcapabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options); crcapabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true); crcapabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_INSECURE_CERTS, true); System.setProperty(ChromeDriverService.CHROME_DRIVER_LOG_PROPERTY, "C:\\temp\\chrome\\chromedriver.log"); System.setProperty(ChromeDriverService.CHROME_DRIVER_EXE_PROPERTY, "C:\\temp\\chrome\\chromedriver.exe"); ChromeDriverService service = null; try { service = new ChromeDriverService.Builder() .usingAnyFreePort() .withVerbose(true) .build(); service.start(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(service.getUrl(),crcapabilities); driver.get("https://self-signed.badssl.com/"); System.out.println(driver.getPageSource()); driver.quit(); software/framework versions
