Question

SSH is not used primarily for making HTTP requests to a web server accessing a remote computer checking network path to a remote computer writing a web server

Answer 1

HTTP sends and recieves messages according to HTTP protocol, while SSH sends and recieves messages according to SSH protocol. If you try to do that the HTTP server will see an incoming connection, but when trying to read a HTTP measage from it, it will read something it doesnt understand. Most likely the server will print just an error and close connection. Of course the HTTP error wont be understood by connecting SSH client. so SSH client will print its own error.
