uvicorn error on AWS EC2 with uvicorn + fastapi

Question

I have a server running locally. When I run it on AWS EC2 and send a request from outside on port 8000, I get the following error:

$ uvicorn sql_app.main:app --host="0.0.0.0" --port=8000

It would be very nice if you could tell me how to do it on port 80.

``` raise LocalProtocolError(msg) h11._util.RemoteProtocolError: illegal request line: bytearray(b'\x16\x03\x01\x02\x00\x01\x00\x01\xfc\x03\x03\x18\xc6\x16Xm\x87\x96`\xff\x97\xd4\x86\xa6d\x8b\x0e\xc0\xb3Dwh\xc0\xd7K\x90\xcfj\x1e\x1fr\xe1\xfe \x15\xa0\xbd\xda\x8f\xc5~\xbd\x16\x11\xc2\xbd\x8b\x9a\x06\xe5P\xab\x8a\xff\xc8\xc0\xe3m\x10\xecOU\x91_U\x8f\x00"\x9a\x9a\x13\x01\x13\x02\x13\x03\xc0+\xc0/\xc0,\xc00\xcc\xa9\xcc\xa8\xc0\x13\xc0\x14\x00\x9c\x00\x9d\x00/\x005\x00') ``` — Flydzen, Jan 07 '21 at 00:51

I was getting the same arcane WARNING: Invalid HTTP request received. error with an unhelpful stack trace. I tried all of the environment variable tweaks recommended and none worked (see FastAPI issue #680, uvicorn issue #441).

My issue was that when I was calling my FastAPI microservice I was using https when my microservice did not have HTTPS support. I changed the url from https to http and it started working as expected.

Note that if your service requires HTTPS support you can add HTTPS support as Ilgizar Murzakov suggests.

Had the same issue. Disabling http2 on application load balancer helped me.

I had the same issue and solved it by adding HTTPS support. I configured NGINX with LetsEncrypt certificate. Make sure that the ports that you use are open at your security group settings.

this is because uvicorn updated to display detailed error. uvicorn #886

then, use uvicorn 0.13.1 which is before the update. this version won't display the error.

P.S: this update is to fix this error. and uvicorn haven't fixed the error for now. uvicorn #1296
