Chrome "mixed content" error breaks Blip after 1 second

In at least Mac Chrome 51.0.2704.103 (64-bit), Blip only shows valid graph points for the first second after a refresh, then shows a max-latency red line after that. Refreshing always fixes it for a second, then it breaks again.

The JavaScript console says Mixed content: The page was loaded over HTTPS, but requested in insecure endpoint coming from jquery.min.js.

In Safari, Blip works fine without issue.

Here's what that looks like.

Thanks! Knowing this, I can switch the URL from https:// to http:// and have it work in Chrome

https now fails in Safari 10.0.2 on OS X 10.11.6:

(this connection is up and working, btw)

https fails on iOS too, making it hard to use this excellent tool on iPhones and iPads. Booping over to http works great though!

On Brave, even after I edited the url to http://, I got auto-redirected to https://, which breaks after a second. I had to turn off Upgrade connections to HTTPS on brave://settings.

I think switching to https://mlab-ns.appspot.com/ndt_ssl?policy=all might help here, it gives the FQDNs as dash separated so that they can be contacted over HTTPS. https://github.com/m-lab/mlab-ns/pull/51

I was able to make this work by enabling mixed content like this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18321032/how-to-get-chrome-to-allow-mixed-content

same in firefox

In Firefox, it works after you "disable protection" under the padlock icon.

[Incog5]

you can also do this in chrome: click on the padlock icon, site settings, set "Insecure content" to allow

fixed in master! Should show up on the original server soon. Meanwhile, a different test server that doesn't seem to trigger the problem: http://blip.apenwarr.ca/
