Or test with for example netcat that your server1 accepts get. Something like: nc server1.add.re.ss 8093 get /nexus/v1/repository/rawcentral/com.att.swm.attpublic/healthcheck.txt HTTP/1.1 Host: ...

Like Jonathan said "No Host" is telling you what's wrong. (HTTP/1.1 requests expect Host: header). -Jarno -- Jarno Huuskonen
