An implicit property find request is done without knowing whether the URL
specifies a null resource or not. I agree that the exception makes no sense for
this case and the situation should be handled smarter.
As workaround create the WebdavResource in this way:
WebdavResource webdavResourceTempFile = new WebdavResource(
httpURL, WebdavResource.NOACTION, 0
);
