The `protocol` module has the following methods:
### `protocol.registerStandardSchemes(schemes)`

A standard `scheme` adheres to what RFC 3986 calls
[generic URI syntax](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3). This
includes `file:` and `filesystem:`.

`error` property, the `request` will be failed with the `error` number you
specified. For the available error numbers you can use, please check:
