Artifact Upload with PackageBuildOutputs fails for OSS Nexus

[M-DLB]

It seems the OSS version of nexus only supports HTTP 1.1, which creates a problem when uploading:

** Uploading /u/ado/workspace/MortgageApplication/main/build-20240329.2/logs/build.20240329.171134.816.tar to http://10.3.20.96:28081/repository/testMD/null/build.20240329.171134.816/build.20240329.171134.816.tar...

The solution is to force the HTTPClient to use HTTP 1.1 (version parameter of the Request builder):

    HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
    .uri(URI.create("$url"))
    .version(HttpClient.Version.HTTP_1_1)    
    .header("Content-Type", "binary/octet-stream")
    .header("Connection","Keep-Alive")
    .PUT(BodyPublishers.ofFile(Paths.get(fileName)))
    .build();

Is it possible to implement this mechanism via a command-line flag?
