Description

I am trying to bypass CSP in order to run some eval() code or spawn web workers.

I found this issue on electron: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/3430 which suggests using webFrame.registerURLSchemeAsBypassingCSP(scheme) http://electron.atom.io/docs/api/web-frame/#webframeregisterurlschemeasbypassingcspscheme

I have tried to do that in a preloader script but it doesn't seem to affect the page's policy.

Have you ever faced this or have any clue what might be wrong or a possible solution?

Thanks!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to correctly use webFrame.registerURLSchemeAsBypassingCSP in Nightmare's preload script, ensuring it is called before page navigation. Check if there are timing issues or if the scheme registration persists across iframes.
