"Connection reset by peer" means that the remote server unexpectedly
closed the connection. This may be a problem at the remote site or
an intermediate firewall or the remote site may be unhappy with the 
request is hase been presented - and instead of an error response
simply closed the connection (bad behavior).

I would try to contact the administrators of your "XNAT" server
whether they can provide some help:

  *  did your request reached the server (or was it blocked
     on its way to the server)?

  *  if yes, why was the connection closed (without response).
