Hi All,

I am new to ELK and started using the same via docker compose.  
I have used the standard docker-compose.yaml file which is available in below link.

> <https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/8.11/docs/reference/setup/install/docker/docker-compose.yml>

As shown in below logs all containers are up and running

```auto
$ sudo docker container ls 
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
b35f00b59c6f docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:8.11.3 "/usr/local/bin/dock…" 11 minutes ago Up 10 minutes 0.0.0.0:5000->5000/udp, :::5000->5000/udp, 5044/tcp, 0.0.0.0:5000->5000/tcp, 0.0.0.0:5044->5044/udp, :::5000->5000/tcp, :::5044->5044/udp, 9600/tcp elastic-logstash-1

```

Now If i try below command to access the elastic server from the same machine I get error saying empty reply

```auto
$ curl -X GET "http://elastic:elasticpass@127.0.0.1:9200"
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9200
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

$ curl http://localhost:9200 -k -u elastic:elasticpass
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

```

Any pointers would be of great help

You need to use `https`, you are using `http`.
