Automatically allow Camera Access Request in webrtc enabled Chrome

[rizwan]

Hi, I have a rather basic question regarding the use of webrtc.
When the local camera access is invoked using getUserMedia, there is a small bar in chrome that pops up asking to either Allow or Deny Access.
Is there anyway to getaway with this and let the chrome always allow access to camera?

This is because in automating my test application i am using unit tests that run at scheduled intervals and testing is hanged to the point where camera access is required?

Is there any flag in chrome canary build or dev bulid may be that can help overcome this problem?

Thank you,

Rizwan.

In chrome dev and canary, you can use the always allow options in the drop down menu. It appears for web pages served over https.

Thanks serge, but is there no way to have the same option over http only server?

For security reasons "Always allow" is only enabled for HTTPS domains.

This security exception seems very arbitrary. The same does not apply to popups for example.

Popups can't film you.

 

A unified modell would be reasonable imho.

A different question: Is it supposed to be allowed using spdy? 

spdy doesn't affect whether the origin (which identifies the security context) is http or https.

As far as I know, SPDY is secure by definition, so, I think it must be HTTPS.

Hi Rizwan,

I am curious to know were you able to make Auto allow work with http for webrtc calls?

Another question, even I am trying to automate the testcases to run webrtc call under load.

Could you give me some pointers how to run bulk webrtc calls?

Thanks much,

Padma Prasad

I am serving the site via http, but still have no option to Always Allow. Is EV certificate required, or should just a regular ssl work?
