title: How to get Latest Chrome (Version 55) to allow mixed content?
body: <p>I have a chrome extension that communicates using HTTP in development and HTTPS in production.</p>
  
  <p>I run it from webpages that use HTTPS.</p>
  
  <p>When I use this extension in my development mode I get the following error.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Mixed Content: The page at '<a href="https://somesite.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://somesite.com</a>' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint '<a href="http://david-sniper.local:3001/api/end-point" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://david-sniper.local:3001/api/end-point</a>'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>In the past I have been able to resolve this error by going reading this post <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18321032/how-to-get-chrome-to-allow-mixed-content">how-to-get-chrome-to-allow-mixed-content</a></p>
  
  <p>There are two solutiions in this post.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"  --allow-running-insecure-content</li>
  <li>In the address bar at the right end should be a 'shield' icon, you can click on that to run insecure content.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have never had success with the first solution, but the second solution where you click on the 'shield' icon was working up until a few weeks ago.</p>
  
  <p>I'm now on Chrome 55 and there is NO Shield option to click on, so I'm wondering how to get mixed content working in developer mode?</p>
