requestImage crashes app when URL file cannot be found #727

I came across this error and found a solution.

Here is test code to create the problem

///////////////////////////////////////////////////
// requestImage test
PImage img;
boolean go = true;

void setup() {
size(800, 600);
}

void draw() {
if (go) {
//img = requestImage("http://192.168.0.112/DCIM/100PHOTO/SAM_0001.JPG"); // Loads the image from server successfully
img = requestImage("http://192.168.0.112/DCIM/PHOTO/SAM_0001.JPG"); // App crashes with exception
// java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File http://192.168.0.112/DCIM/PHOTO/SAM_0001.JPG contains a path separator
go = false;
}
float ar = (float)img.width/(float)img.height;
if (img != null && img.width > 0 && img.height > 0) {
image(img, 0, 0, width, (float)width/ar);
} else {
text("Error ", width/2, height/2);
}
}
void mousePressed() {
go = true;
}
