--- Comment #3 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at redhat.com> ---
Yes, this is very likely caused by 274409 at main since mixed content is now blocked if it cannot be upgraded.

The mixed content spec says localhost is a secure context and therefore definitionally it's not mixed content, but WebKit does not follow the spec; see bug #171934 for discussion around that. Consequentially, it's guaranteed/expected that such applications are broken now.

I'm tempted to mark this bug as a duplicate of bug #171934. There's just not really anything else to do here other than implement the change suggested in that issue. (The only other alternative would be to outright revert 274409 at main, but let's not please.)
