What error are you receiving?

Can you show your elasticsearch.yml file? (hiding any credentials)

This means that you cluster is secured and you must therefore access using https, not http, when you connect from your application.

can you please elaborate your answer..

thankyou

If your cluster is secured and has TLS enabled, which based on your description seems to be the case, you must use HTTPS to communicate with Elasticsearch. You can not use HTTP, which is unsecured.

To use the "http" you need to go into the your elasticsearch.yml set:
"xpack.security.enabled: false"

and restart elasticsearch.

Welcome @NgDinhNamEtiis and thanks for sharing your solution for this.

I'd not recommend disabling security at all, even for dev purposes. I think it's always better to educate our users to have secured clusters.
