[Bug]: Navigation fails with net::ERR_FAILED

[nithivasakan-m]

Version

1.58.0

Steps to reproduce

Use Playwright Java (e.g., v1.58.0)
Launch Chromium in headless mode

import com.microsoft.playwright.*;

public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try (Playwright playwright = Playwright.create()) {
Browser browser = playwright.chromium().launch(
new BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setHeadless(true)
);

  Page page = browser.newPage();

  // Attempt to navigate to webrtc internals
  page.navigate("chrome://webrtc-internals/");
}

}
}

Navigation fails with net::ERR_FAILED at chrome://webrtc-internals/
The page is not loaded in headless mode

Expected behavior

🔁 Not Works in Headed Mode
chrome://webrtc-internals/ should be accessible in headless mode
Navigation should succeed without errors
WebRTC internals data should be available for automation/debugging

🔁 Works in Headed Mode
When running with:
.setHeadless(false)
Navigation succeeds
chrome://webrtc-internals/ loads correctly

Actual behavior

chrome://webrtc-internals/ should be accessible in headless mode
