In my own tests, I haven't managed to persuade Java to create a writeable
file connection for any kind of URI other than a file:/ URI. I would expect
to get an error message if you use an http:// URI, and I'm a little
surprised that you don't get an error, but I wouldn't expect it to succeed. 

You can always write your own OutputURIResolver that intercepts any kind of
URI, of course.
