HTTP/1.1 & HTTP2 Header - http and https urls respond with different HTTP versions

[celiac101]

I'm trying to figure out why http and https urls respond with different HTTP versions? My main site URL is https://www.mysite.com, and the following 301 redirect to this, but show different responses:

• Website Hosting - Mysite.com responds with "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"
• https://mysite.com responds with "HTTP/2 301"

Any idea why the responses are different?

I can't find documentation to prove it, but I "believe" that HTTP/2 requires SSL in all browsers that support it.

@ffeingol is correct - more/similar details on that here - HTTP/2 behaviors with HTTP and HTTPS

Understood, but why would the response for both versions not be the same? " 301 Moved Permanently"

HTTP2 is only responding with "301"

I think the http/2 options just don't return the extra text. The code is still the same and it'll be handled the same by the server.

Right, but the proper and correct response is " 301 Moved Permanently." I'm not sure if or how it would ever get updated.
