Test is conflicting with the spec

[arthuro555]

Hello, I am not sure if this is the right place to talk about this, but one of the tests in the test suite specified in the specification document is testing against something conflicting with the specification. I am talking about this test. It is testing if it is possible to pass a data: url as parameter. However, the spec states under 2.1.2.8.4 that

If url's scheme is not "http" or "https", return a promise rejected with TypeError.

As it is returning, it will never reach step 11 where the URL is transmitted to target.

Did I misunderstand something in the specification in any way?

#174 added that step, it seems that test wasn't checked back then.

Many of the tests previously used data:

The spec restriction to http: or https: was only added recently - see #173.

The test can be updated to use https:
