How to get Latest Chrome (Version 55) to allow mixed content?

Re-posting in this group on advice from Chroming Team

I have a chrome extension that communicates using HTTP in development and HTTPS in production.

I run it from webpages that use HTTPS.

When I use this extension in my development mode I get the following error.

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://somesite.com' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'http://david-sniper.local:3001/api/end-point'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

In the past I have been able to resolve this error by going reading this post how-to-get-chrome-to-allow-mixed-content

There are two solutiions in this post.

1. C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --allow-running-insecure-content
2. In the address bar at the right end should be a 'shield' icon, you can click on that to run insecure content.

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.

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?

This is not the right group for such questions. chromium-discuss is. Please, do not continue this discussion here.

Note that localhost (specifically) has a special exempt from the HTTPS restrictions, usually, so you might want to try using localhost instead of david-sniper.local. It might not work in this case, because it is perhaps only related to HTTPS-only-permissions concepts, but it is worth a try.
