You must use port 8123 for HTTP.' — HTTP client (curl, clickhouse-connect, JDBC HTTP) pointed at the native TCP port (or native client at HTT… ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): ClickHouse serves the native binary protocol and HTTP on different ports (defaults 9000 and 8123; secure 9440/8443). Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source/docs-derived; not reproduced. Other error fragments: - You must use port 8123 for HTTP. - Unexpected packet from server Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/e5b52dca7f9855a57ae9e8e464d10fc236007c5f/src/Server/TCPHandler.cpp (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): When a user sends HTTP to the TCP port the server replies 'HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request ... Port {} is for clickhouse-client program' plus 'You must use port {} for HTTP.' - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/e5b52dca7f9855a57ae9e8e464d10fc236007c5f/src/Client/Connection.cpp (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Native client raises 'Unexpected packet from server {} (expected {}, got {})' when the handshake response isn't the expected packet.
