Hi all
I´m attempting to create one disk image from http server (I know that NFS is preferred) but i got errors from PE, acli and REST API.
AHV, CVM, PE, PC and the web server are one the same network (then I can exclude routing issues) and on the web server (Centos 7.7, apache httpd-2.4.6-90) firewall and selinux are disabled and the url is called using IP to avoid dns issues.
The content is available via wget but the image creation command ends with error 503 (Service Unavailable) while on the web server with log at debug level nothing is written on error and access log.
I have tested also to stop httpd and use python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80 but doesn´t work (I got one excepction that I cannot fully read and I don´t know where is logged)
What´s wrong?
I´m missing something?
Someone have a suggestion?
Here some operation samples:

Test from PE. Start but fails after 2 minutes…
From Nutanix documentation:
Image Source: Do one of the following:
- Click the From URL radio button to import the image from the Internet. Enter the appropriate URL address in the field using the following syntax for either NFS or HTTP:
nfs://ohostname|IP_addr]/path http://:hostname|IP_addr]/path
acli image create references

Optionally, a checksum may also be specified if we are creating an image from a source_url in order to verify the correctness of the image.
