Trying to write to influxdb running on docker container. Getting SSL error about wrong version when I try  
curl, python request or even openssl s\_client from the docker host or the in the container shell itself.

curl -vk [https://localhost:8086/api/v2/ping](https://localhost:8086/api/v2/ping)

openssl s\_client -connect localhost:8086

Is SSL not enabled for the API?
