You also should experiment with "curl -v" from the command prompt (CLI in bash, not tmsh). This will show you what the server response is. 

curl -v http://host.company.com/Mapping_WS2/ImageServer.asmx/ReturnImageServices?sImageServer=localhost

or

curl -v http://10.0.0.10/Mapping_WS2/ImageServer.asmx/ReturnImageServices?sImageServer=localhost

See the difference between using the hostname versus the IP address.
