I'm developing a website with http protocol, but when I wanted to use Geo Location, I got this error:

A geolocation request can only be fulfilled in a secure context.

Now I wanted to ask if it is possible to do a Location request without https.

PS: It might also be my browser (Firefox) blocking this.

In one word, privacy! Location data is particularly sensitive. Restricting geolocation to secure sites helps protect users from unauthorized access to their data. Quite a few sites are likely to break with this change, but Google engineers have expressed that they’d rather see a few (hundred? thousand?) angry emails than see geolocation privacy leaks.

You can always get free ssl certificates.
