when I'm trying to make ajax request with jquery to:

https://localhost:8443/uri

I get this error:

net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE

I'm using self signed certificate, in package.json I have these parameters:

"chromium-args": "--ignore-certificate-errors --auth-schemes='basic --auth-server-whitelist='*localhost:8443' --auth-negotiate-delegate-whitelist='*localhost:8443'''",

OS: ubuntu 14.10
