jenkins java.io.IOException: can not read HTTP status line

[trebla ng]

Hi,

I am getting the error message when trying to checkout via jenkins. Unfortunately, don't seem to find similar issue anywhere else.
Below is the complete trace. Any pointer would be greatly appreciated. In tcpdump trace, I do see authentication exchange and PROPFIND exchanges.
Thanks
