Description

The following code should create an iframe that says "asdf":

var frame = document.createElement('iframe');
frame.style.background = 'red';
frame.src = 'data:text/html;charset=utf-8,%3C%21DOCTYPE%20HTML%3E%3Chtml%3E%3Cbody%3Easdf%3C%2Fbody%3E%3C%2Fhtml%3E'
document.body.appendChild(frame);

Instead, it gets blocked and a log message shows up:

AppDelegate::shouldStartLoadWithRequest: Received Unhandled URL data:text/html;charset=utf-8,%3C%21DOCTYPE%20HTML%3E%3Chtml%3E%3Chead%3E%3C%2Fhead%3E%3Cbody%3Easdf%3C%2Fbody%3E%3C%2Fhtml%3E
