Description
**Description of the false positive**
If a `URI` or `URL` is created from a `File` it isn't a valid source of SSRF. This is because, AFAIK, opening a stream from a file will never create a socket request.
`new File("untrusted-user-input.txt").toURI().toURL().openStream()`

**Reasonable Fix**
It should be simple to add any type conversion to a `File` as a simple sanitizer.
