http().addParam throws a NullPointerException with type: File

If you pass http().addParam a file param without a file variable, Lucee throws a Java Nullpointer error. This error could be clearer.

Code:

<cfscript>
variables.httpArgs = {
method: "POST",
url: "http://google.com"
};
variables.paramArgs = {
type: "file",
name: "file",
value: "/whatever/path/doesntmatter.txt"
}

variables.connection = new http( argumentCollection: variables.httpArgs );
variables.connection.addParam( argumentCollection: variables.paramArgs );
variables.connection.send();

</cfscript>
