I would be surprised if the Firefox Geolocation API worked on HTTP.

I need an api key to try it! How do I get one? Yjanx

Oops, thanx I meant!

I am using https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=test but get status 0 - invalid key?

See:

• https://location.services.mozilla.com/api

Works for me: https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=test

• {"location": {"lat": xx.xxxx, "lng": x.xxxx}, "accuracy": 1000.0}

Not for me! var url = 'https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=test'; xhr.open('GET', url); xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/json'); Gives readystate:4 status:0 and "text" in text!

var url = 'https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=test'; 
var xhr=new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET",url,true);
xhr.onload=function(e){if(xhr.readyState===4){if(xhr.status===200){console.log(xhr.responseText)}else{console.error(xhr.statusText)}}};
xhr.onerror=function(e){console.error(xhr.statusText)};
xhr.send(null);

Yes and I get - readystate:4 status:0 text when I log the 3 fields to console, which implies invalid key! Possibly it's because I'm in Thailand?

Does it work at least when you visit a website that uses geolocation?

• https://www.flickr.com/map (find my location)

Thanx. I've no sensor on the pc but, Google maps does get the approximate location though this obviously uses https!
