localhost:5000

Description

After starting simplehttp2server, the console shows Listening on :5000.... If we forget that it's serving over https and try to access a binary file gets downloaded.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. CD into directory containing index.html
  2. Run simplehttp2server.
  3. Browse to (instead of https).

Expected Results

  • Server log shows full URL (i.e., Listening on
  • or any of the following:
  • Redirect to https (301)
  • Serve the index.html (unencrypted h2 preferably, or even http/1.1)
  • Display a meaningful/helpful error page
  • Display a meaningful/helpful error on the terminal's server log

Actual Results

  • Binary file is downloaded instead of a page shown in browser
  • Server log emits cryptic (at least for someone unfamiliar with TLS) error:

2016/06/17 22:12:43 http: TLS handshake error from [::1]:54431: tls: first record does not look like a TLS handshake
