Returning blank page on a specific website.

[nzaitseva]

I'm getting a blank page when I try to open shops.coles.com.au.

When I try to open coles.com.au it works, but if I try to visit the subdomain it shows a blank page. Also, if I open websites like google.com it works.

An example when it returns a blank page:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(https://shop.coles.com.au/a/a-national/everything/browse)

However this page is shown correctly:
https://coles.com.au

this is related to:

there is a JS code running and generating a request to the server every time it identifies that you are using "Selenium" or "Driver" and then server is returning 429 (too many requests) error code.

You can filter out the specific JS to avoid this issue. You can use extensions in Chrome/Firefox (in case you are not running headless). If you do run in headless mode, then soon we will add the filter URL's feature in Chrome DevTools API - #6667
