Bluetooth requestDevice() is undefined on Amazon Lightsail
The following example (1) lists available Bluetooth devices when opened as a file in Chrome version 70.
When uploading the same exact example to an Amazon Ligtsail instance I get the following error message:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'requestDevice' of undefined
at connect ((index):9)
at HTMLButtonElement.onclick ((index):4)
Can anyone explain to me what the issue might be? Since this is JavaScript, it should be executed in the browser and be unrelated to any server setup?
.
(1) Example code that generates the error on Amazon Lightsail
<html>
<body>
<button onclick="connect();">Click here</button>
<script>
function connect()
console.log('Getting Bluetooth Device...');
navigator.bluetooth.requestDevice(
acceptAllDevices : true
)
.then(device =>
console.log('Got device');
)
.catch(error =>
console.log(error);
);
</script>
</body>
</html>

What happens if you access via an HTTPS endpoint?

As @kdgregory suggested, the navigator.bluetooth is HTTPS only:
Because this experimental API is a powerful new feature added to the Web, Google Chrome aims to make it available only to secure contexts. This means you'll need to build with TLS in mind.
I added a GitHub pages and it works.

I thought that might be the problem but didn't have the time to look. Glad to see that you were able to solve it, and write a good answer explaining it.
