Research direction

Start at the DefaultCacheManager().getSingleFile(url) entry point and reproduce the failure in debug mode using the try/catch shown in the issue. Trace why the error pauses or crashes the app instead of reaching the catch block; done means the failure is caught without pausing or crashing the app.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
