localhost sent an invalid response. ERR_INVALID_HTTP_RESPONSE


I am working on enabling http2 in nginx docker. I am getting this error when I calling to localhost. My nginx configuration file as below.

server {
listen       2020 http2;
server_name  localhost;

#charset koi8-r;
#access_log  /var/log/nginx/host.access.log  main;

location / {
    root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
    index  index.html index.htm;
}

#error_page  404              /404.html;

# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
    root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
}

# proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
#    proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1;
#}

# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
#    root           html;
#    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
#    fastcgi_index  index.php;
#    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
#    include        fastcgi_params;
#}

# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root

#location ~ /\.ht {

#}
}

Http2 listen port is 2020. I have exposed it to 2020 when the container is started.

docker run -d --name nginx -p 80:80 -p 2020:2020 -v 
/home/pubudu/work/nginx/nginx-tms/config/conf.d:/etc/nginx/conf.d/:ro  
nginx:latest

This is the tutorial link: How To Set Up Nginx with HTTP/2 Support on Ubuntu 16.04

Do i need to use port 443 ? is it mandatory ? (I didn't use ssl for this)

If i curl this url, response like below.

Warning: Binary output can mess up your terminal. Use "--output -" to tell Warning: curl to output it to your terminal anyway, or consider "--output Warning: " to save to a file.

I know that the page is transferred as a binary in http2. I want get the nginx index page as a response.

your help will be really appreciated.


Solution

  • I have found the solution for this. It is needed to enable SSL in nginx in order to achieve http2. I tried it and it's working well. I found the answer from this link.

    Now my config file as below.

    server {
    listen       443 ssl http2;
    server_name  localhost;
    
    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx-selfsigned.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx-selfsigned.key;
    
    
    #charset koi8-r;
    #access_log  /var/log/nginx/host.access.log  main;
    
    location / {
        root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
        index  index.html index.htm;
    }
    
    #error_page  404              /404.html;
    
    # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
    #
    error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }
