http requests fail for some domains (tested with libraries: urllib, requests)

[theCalcaholic]

Description

With iron python, http requests to certain domains fail with System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. while they succeed with CPython (tested version: Python 2.7.15).
Since I have no idea what it is about these domains which breaks the request, I'll provide an example url below.
I've also tried using the requests library instead of urllib, with the same result.

Steps to Reproduce

1. import urllib
2. urllib.urlretrieve("https://build.torchapi.net/job/Torch/job/Torch/job/master/61/artifact/bin/torch-server.zip")

Expected behavior:

The file 'torch-server.zip' should be downloaded into the current directory

Actual behavior:

The following error occurs:

The exact same script runs fine with CPython.
