Unable to clear browser data in "headless" mode

Reported by felix.pe...@gmail.com, Oct 11 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Note: this error is discovered in a C# automated test suite
1. Launch Google Chrome in headless mode;
2. Navigate to 'chrome://clearBrowserData'
3. Try to find elements (checkboxes for data type selections, dropdown for the search back period and "Clear browsing data" button) with Selenium.

What is the expected behavior?
Even if I'm in the "headless" mode, I should be able to clear my browsing data like I would do without the "headless" argument.

What went wrong?
The page is not correctly loaded and I'm unable to select the appropriate elements with Selenium. 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 61.0.3163.100  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0

Requesting someone from the headless project team to take a look at this.
Small adjustment, just letting you know that the URL should be chrome://settings/clearBrowserData, not chrome://clearBrowserData

Thanks, I'm changing this to a feature request, since Headless has a different browser session management than Chrome

This is somehow related to Saving/Restoring browser sessions: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=617931


Any update on this issue?
