https needed for certain feature in chrome

Question

There's a recent update in Google Chrome's security in which they don't allow using the geolocation and accessing webcam when the site is not 'https'.

Is there a way to disable this for local IP addresses? We're only using it in out intranet so there's no way to put https in it.

Hope somebody can help me

Thanks

It only works on localhost, but not on the internal network.

The best I can suggest is to install a local page on each user's localhost. The page, when loaded, would store the user's location, record it in memory, then call an endpoint on your local network to transmit the data.
