Trouble setting up SSL

Hi,
I'm pretty new to nginx but do have a server up and running. I've been
pulling my hair out over ssl setup though. I have read the docs on your
server and some others like the alpine site. The most recent attempt I
followed the video tutorial on your website. Whenever I try to connect
via ssl it hangs. I hope someone here has some ideas because I don't
know where else to turn.
No errors show in the nginx logs.
I'm running Ubuntu 20.04. Nginx was installed following the instructions
on your website.
When I try to access http://www.biscotty.dev with curl I get a response.
If I explicitly request https it hangs indefinitely. The
commands/responses are posted below.
Not sure if this matters but I have learned that dev domains try to
enforce https, so explicitly using http in a browser gui craps out no
matter what, but curl ignores this and serves you via http anyway. I
don't know if this matters but I thought I would mention it.
Here is my .conf file. I have not modified anything else from the
initial install.
'''
server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name www.biscotty.dev;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name www.biscotty.dev;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/biscotty.dev.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/biscotty.dev.key;
location / {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
}
}
