enable insecure websocket in chrome - google-chrome

I have an https:// web app that is opening an insecure websocket connection.
By default browsers disallow this, but I can bypass behaviour in FireFox with network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS = true
Is there a similar setting for chrome ? How can I force chrome to open ws:// connection from https:// webapp ?
Starting chrome with extra flags is not ideal, because this would be impossible on mobile devices ?

Websocket in my chrome work only when I start in --no-proxy-server

I have an application that uses websockets. I'm under corporate proxy. When the application is in localhost all the websocket requests are fine in IE/Chrome and Firefox. But it works IE not in Chrome when it is hosted else where in my LAN network.
And in chrome echo from http://websocket.org/echo.html is successful
Websocket in chrome works when request is ws://localhost but fails if hosted on some IP
After a long search I found http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/5245/google-chrome-how-to-assign-a-proxy-server-that-is-different-from-internet-explorers-settings/
Since then Websockets started working chrome as well.
But It is not possible for a client to start in no proxy mode.
Could anyone help me brief explanation of why it is working only in no proxy mode ? and Why it is working in IE if IE and Chrome shares same proxy settings
I'm under corporate proxy.
How HTML5 Web Sockets Interact With Proxy Servers
Some proxies are not Websocket friendly. Try to use secure WebSockets (using wss:// instead ws://), since secure connections cannot be understood by proxies.

How to open http only site in Google chrome

I am debugging my localhost site at chrome but not able to browse it, Chrome convert http into https automatically & not able to access it.
I tried & noticed chrome is converting all http site to try to open on https, that is not an issue if you can browse site with https & have valid certificate.
But in my case https is enabled for localhost then also it creates different issue Your connection is not private NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID since it doesn't recognize self-signed certificate safe.
I am stuck in debugging for chrome which is used by most users.
Please help.
PS this is happening since last chrome update & I am able to debug on IE & firefox.

How to disable/ enable SSL protocol from chrome/ firefox browser?

I would like to know how to disable to SSL protocol from Chrome/ Firefox browser. I tried to disable SSL from chrome browser by doing [Settings] -> [Change Proxy Settings] -> [Advanced].
My Server is designed to accept only TLS protocols. It works well with IE11 browser. But coming to Firefox/ Chrome, I am unable to determine whether SSL is working or not.
I followed this link to set for Chrome, but there is no hope. Does the SSL/TLS enabling/ disabling work in Chrome/ Firefox ?
Thanks,
