Hello, like mentioned in the title HTTP isn’t working at all anymore.  
HTTPS  
works fine. I already tried default vhost config but no luck there. I  
have  
no idea what is going on and I didn’t even find anything with google  
either.

Most likely you’ve did something like

```
listen 80 http2;

```

in your configuration, which results in HTTP/2 being used on port  
80, assuming prior knowledge. Don’t do this.

See [#983 (NGINX PROXY 0000 1204 0000 0000 0000 0300 0000 8000) – nginx](https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/983) for an example of  
another person who did the same mistake.

May be we need some better indication on what goes wrong here.  
I.e., something similar to 497 code we use internally for https  
(“a regular request has been sent to the HTTPS port”).
