Hello,

When I give a null InputStream to Builder.build(), I get a
MalformedURLException which is misleading when debugging the problem:

It would be much easier to find the real cause of the problem if an NPE with
a corresponding message would be thrown.

I agree. I'll see if I can work up a test case and implement this behavior, assuming no one objects and it doesn't break anything too badly.
