LibreSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to localhost:443 - kubernetes

Question

I was following this doc (https://istio.io/latest/docs/tasks/traffic-management/ingress/secure-ingress/) to set up my Kubernetes on my Docker-Desktop and used istio ingress gateway. I deployed an echo test app, added virtual service that points to the test app endpoint at port 8081. Then I set the istio gateway to open port 443 with the following:
servers:
- hosts:
- some.random.host
port:
name: https
number: 443
protocol: HTTPS
tls:
mode: SIMPLE
credentialName: test-app-tls
where I also created a tls type secret with name test-app-tls using the certs and private key I generated.
(Just in case I forgot to mention something here, I tried with port 80 and http and everything works. Here is an example)
curl -i -H 'Host: some.random.host' 'localhost:80/host'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: application/json
date: Tue, 02 Aug 2022 21:10:31 GMT
content-length: 148
x-envoy-upstream-service-time: 1
server: istio-envoy
{"name":"some-expected-response","address":"some-other-expected-response"}
Then I tried to curl my localhost to hit the test app in the cluster with the following command
curl -k -i -v -H 'Host: some.random.host' 'https://localhost:443/host'
it gave me this error
* Trying ::1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 443 (#0)
* ALPN, offering h2

* Closing connection 0
curl: (35) LibreSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to localhost:443
I also tried with https://127.0.0.1:443/host and still doesn't work.
I'm fairly new to setting up TLS for Kubernetes. Could anyone please help me with this?
Thank you very much!!
