Google Chrome --allow-running-insecure-content does not work

Question

The Google Chrome flag --allow-running-insecure-content does not work. I have confirmed that the executable is in fact running with this flag by seeing the command line args in the chrome://version/ URL where it is clearly reflected.

When I visit our internal Github enterprise instance, which is on HTTPS I cannot see our TeamCity build status icons as the URL is on HTTP. We have these icons in our README.md and I end up with these (blocked:mixed-content) errors in the Dev Tools / Network tab.

Google Chrome: 54.0.2840.99 (Official Build) m (64-bit)

Answer 1

I think the documentation is not up to date. The mixed content mode was made stricter according to chromium.org. You should be able to solve the problem in any of the two ways below using multiple flags.

--unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure=http://domain1.com,http://domain2.com --user-data-dir=/test/only/dir

Or don't enforce the same-origin policy (not recommended).

--disable-web-security --allow-running-insecure-content (add --user-data-dir=/test/only/dir if needed)
