Answer 1

I had the same error message trying to publish to Artifactory. It turned out I forgot to include the port 8081 in the URL.

Answer 2

what is your HTTP Server? Did you use Something like Artifactory?
If you are using Apache, the PUT operation is disabled by default (maybe the same for most Web servers). You'll have to enable it and associate a backend script to handle the query as expected (retrieving artifacts from query and saving them on file system).
I enable it using PHP, you can see how from my GitHub repository: https://github.com/opatry/ivy-frontend

Answer 3

if you are using Artifactory as your repository, check this out:

The ivy settings should change the build-server property
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="defaultresolver" />
<property name="ibiblio-maven2-root" value="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/" />
<property name="build-server" value="http://myserver.com/repository/libs-snapshot-local/" />
<resolvers>
<chain name="defaultresolver">
<ibiblio name="local" m2compatible="true" root="${build-server}" />
<url name="repository">
<ivy pattern="${build-server}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/ivy-[revision].xml" />
<artifact pattern="${build-server}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />
</url>
</chain>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>
