What happens if you hit this URL in a browser:

https://172.31.3.97:8080/

Particularly, one that will let you see the details like Firefox with  
the Firebug add-on.

Or (if you have these tools on you Windows):

telnet 172.31.3.97 8080
GET / HTTP/1.0

(hit return twice after the GET... line)

telnet 172.31.3.97 8080
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: 172.31.3.97

(two returns after the Host:... line)

You need to take baby steps. Test OUTSIDE the code when you can and  
then you'll know what the response should be.
