SPRING-BOOT enabling HSTS results in o.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor : Error parsing HTTP request header

Question

I need to enable HSTS in my Spring-boot application, after adding suggested code (helped by stackoverflow) when i make a https call I get o.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor : Error parsing HTTP request header

Spring-boot version 2.7.13

properties: server.ssl.enabled=true server.ssl.protocol=TLS server.ssl.enabled-protocols=TLSv1.2`

I have added in a configuration class:

@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception
{

    http.headers()
            .httpStrictTransportSecurity()
            .requestMatcher(AnyRequestMatcher.INSTANCE)
    ;

    return http.build();
}

When I try https://localhost:8086/hello

it yields `

` the same http request http://localhost:8086/hello

works as expected. Note that I have no http redirection, at some point I will add

http.requiresChannel().anyRequest().requiresSecure();

as I do not want http support.
