 Because we did not see that error.

 I was able to reproduce this problem by visiting http://httpstat.us/304,
 but the error is actually unrelated to the 304 response code. What happens
 in this case is that a relative URL is returned in the Location header
 when a `GET http://httpstat.us/favicon.ico` is done, and the code at
 content-policy.js:157 does not handle relative URLs. The response code is
 a 302. I opened #22525 for this issue.
