penthouse: error opening url - operation canceled

I am using penthouse with grunt - whenever we point penthouse to our local dev environment, we get these errors:

Error: Fontconfig warning: ignoring UTF-8: not a valid region tag
Error opening url 'https://www.dev.site.com/de': Operation canceled

This is how the grunt task is configured:

penthouse: {
    corporate_index: {
        outfile: './src/css/index/critical/index-critical.css',
        css: './src/css/index/critical/index-complete.css',
        url: 'https://www.dev.site.com/de',
        width: 1920,
        height: 1080,
        skipErrors: false,
        phantomJsOptions: {
            'proxy-auth': 'penthouse:****'
        }
    }
}

What could cause the problem here? Is there any way to debug further, why penthouse or phantomjs can’t open the url?

I have the same problem, I’m also on mac. From the penthouse debug logs I get:

I added the log that outputs the htmlfile being worked on. There is a somewhat large css background image of around 472k in size that may be what’s causing the issue. I have tried to remedy this by adding a renderWait time of 35 seconds but I still get the error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
