Nextbus thinks I've denied location permission when I've allowed it

Project Member Reported by rsch...@chromium.org, Mar 24 2016

Issue description

Version: Chrome beta 50.0.2661.35
OS: Android M

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I can repro 100% of the time for me, but I have no idea how I've gotten into this state.

(1) Go to nextbus.com (which used to work just fine, I use it a lot)
(2) Nextbus informs me that I've denied location permission (see screenshot)
(3) Open up location settings, nextbus.com is clearly allowed (see screenshot)

This is currently working just fine in Chrome Dev and in Firefox. I'm unclear if this is a bug that got fixed post-50, or I just happened to get my beta into a weird state that my dev isn't. Location permission works fine on other sites, such as nextmuni.com (which I've also allowed)

Can you pop open the Origin Info Bubble on nextbus.com and take a screenshot of that too?

Oh, wait. Ha. This is because nextbus is over HTTP, and you're using Chrome 50. cc jww@
...yup, if I type in https:// it works just fine.

FWIW this has started happening in dev too.

geolocation over HTTP is deprecated as of M50. Someone (jww?) should probably reach out to nextbus.

Hmm, this really seems like something we should have mentioned in the M50 beta blog post.

+dknox, do you think it warrants an addition?

Comment 7 by dk...@chromium.org, Mar 26 2016

Yup, this definitely feels like it should be in the blog post. Tho, do we think people are still going to the blog and reading it? This seems important to make sure people see it. Maybe we should do a separate post?
Moving to an email thread.
