Fails with mixed content check when run on w3c-test.org. Passes locally.

Oh, so the test is trying to make sure that the referrer is not limited when sending beacons from HTTPS to HTTP, but such beacons are now completely blocked due to mixed content?

Mike - do you know when/why mixed content blocking for beacon requests was introduced? Do you know if it's covered by spec?

If it is, we could remove this test and replace it with one that makes sure mixed content is indeed blocked. If it isn't, apparently it's web compatible, so maybe it should be.
