Tested on 26.0.1410.63 Linux and this is still broken.

From net-internals, it shows that the request is initiated with IS_DOWNLOAD
load flag, and that the request fails with ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED. I suppose
we never get a DownloadResourceHandler in this case?

I am also a bit surprised the GURL doesn't complain about the name with
this form.
