HTTP/2 and HTTPS

[Roswebnet]

On US15.10 I have nginx:

Problem with IE 11 is still exist. First connection to static page is HTTP/2
and if I do refresh I am getting HTTPS in developers tools. FF and Chrome do
not have this problem.

I think (I feel, my intuition tells me :) ) it may lay on self signed
certificate. I have create it following the 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-9.2 requirements.

root at LIA-RP-VS-WEB:/etc/nginx/tls# openssl ecparam -out privatekey.key -name
prime256v1 -genkey
root at LIA-RP-VS-WEB:/etc/nginx/tls# openssl req -new -key privatekey.key -out
csr.pem
root at LIA-RP-VS-WEB:/etc/nginx/tls# openssl req -x509 -days 365 -key
privatekey.key -in csr.pem -out certificate.crt

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 13 20:48 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mar 13 20:45 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  899 Mar 13 20:48 certificate.crt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  530 Mar 13 20:48 csr.pem
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  302 Mar 13 20:45 privatekey.key

This certificate is used for both HTTPS and HTTP2.

P.S.: I saw multiple tutorials where nginx plays a role as a simple forward
proxy for HTTP and HTTPS, will it work for HTTP/2? Any Idea?
