I get the “bad request this combination of host and port requires TLS” error as the title says. How can I fix it so the error goes away? Here is my detail:

http://localhost:8081/points/12345/search
server.ssl.key-store=classpath:KeyStore.jks
 server.ssl.key-store-password=test
@RestController
 @SpringBootApplication
 public class MainApplication {
  @RequestMapping(value = "/points/{point}/search", method = RequestMethod.GET)
  public PointsType getPoint(@PathVariable(value = "point") String point) {
  System.out.println("hi"); // Never printed
  return null;
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  SpringApplication.run(MainApplication.class, args);
  }
 }
spring.application.name=sge
 server.port=8081
 server.ssl.key-store=classpath:KeyStore.jks
 server.ssl.key-store-password=test
 server.ssl.key-alias=homologation-staging
 server.ssl.trust-store=classpath:TrustStore.jks
 server.ssl.trust-store-password=test
 server.ssl.client-auth=need
 security.require-ssl=true
 server.tomcat.remote_ip_header=x-forwarded-for
 server.tomcat.protocol_header=x-forwarded-proto

When I operated it, I received the error text:

Could not get any response
 There was an error connecting to https://localhost:8081/points/12345/search.

I appreciate any help from you.

    The cause: 

    The error has as a server certificate is being used instead of a client certificate. The problem was that the application already had https set as its default protocol, but you were calling it using http in the browser.

    Solution:

    The simple solution is that:

    At the beginning, used https://  instead of http://

  2. This message was sent to me because I used the wrong certificate.

    I misunderstood Server certificate and Client certificate.

    In my case, although I had installed my certificate on the server for my domain, what I really needed was to use it as a client certificate to make the request.

    You can see how it is done here.

    This message basically says: “Hey! Your SSL request isn’t OK”, or I can’t locate the cert file. As @SerdarAtalay states, it could also signify that you didn’t use the https:// prefix.

    We hope it helps!
