#Steps Done

1. kubectl port-forward $(kubectl get pods -l istio=ingressgateway -n istio-system -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -n istio-system 8003:80
2.kubectl create namespace john
3.kubectl config set-context $(kubectl config current-context) --namespace=john
4.kubectl create -f sklearn_iris_deployment.yaml

cat sklearn_iris_deployment.yaml

5.here iam using istio and as per this doc https://docs.seldon.io/projects/seldon-core/en/v1.1.0/workflow/serving.html i did the same

Istio
Istio REST
Assuming the istio gateway is at <istioGateway> and with a Seldon deployment name <deploymentName> in namespace <namespace>:

A REST endpoint will be exposed at : http://<istioGateway>/seldon/<namespace>/<deploymentName>/api/v1.0/predictions

curl -s http://localhost:8003/seldon/john/sklearn-iris-deployment-sklearn-iris-predictor-0e43a2c/api/v0.1/predictions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"data":{"ndarray":[[5.964,4.006,2.081,1.031]]}}' -v

the same thing happen in sklearn_spacy_text model too but i wonder the same models working perfectly while running it on docker.

please find the sample responce from docker

curl  -s http://localhost:5000/predict -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"data":{"ndarray":[[5.964,4.006,2.081,1.031]]}}' -v

can any one help to resolve this issue

Answer 1

Issue

It appears that the request you make incorrectly tries to re-direct to an https protocol (port 443)

Solution

Use https instead of http

curl -s https://localhost:8003/seldon/john/sklearn-iris-deployment-sklearn-iris-predictor-0e43a2c/api/v0.1/predictions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"data":{"ndarray":[[5.964,4.006,2.081,1.031]]}}' -v

---

Use curl with -L flag, which instructs curl to follow redirects. In this case, the server returned a redirect response (301 Moved Permanently) for the HTTP request to http://localhost:8003. The redirect response instructs the client to send an additional request, this time using HTTPS, to https://localhost:8003.
