Description

On a variety of sites, downloading fails trying to execute JS. Looks like a possible bug in the way phantom is being executed on https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/openload.py#L231. I'm using phantomjs 2.1.1, which appears to be the latest, and its output suggests that it does not support an "--ssl-protocol" argument. However, since 2.1.1 was released quite some time ago, and to the best of my knowledge I haven't updated it recently, this seems like quite an odd problem to encounter. I'm not sure what to make of it.

[jakkarth]

I had two versions of phantomjs on my system apparently, and it was using the wrong one.
