I am following the below document.  
[https://docs.konghq.com/2.0.x/getting-started/configuring-a-service/](https://docs.konghq.com/2.0.x/getting-started/configuring-a-service/)

Somehow I am getting the below message when I try to curl.  
curl -i -X GET --url [http://localhost:8000/](http://localhost:8000/) --header ‘Host:example.com’  
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

All other steps worked fine except this one.  
below is what I have done successfully so far.  
Create a Docker network, Start your database, Prepare your database, Start Kong.  
I am using Cassandra.  
then the below.  
curl -i -X POST --url [http://localhost:8001/services/](http://localhost:8001/services/) --data “name=example-service” --data “url=[http://mockbin.org](http://mockbin.org)”

curl -i -X POST --url [http://localhost:8001/services/example-service/routes](http://localhost:8001/services/example-service/routes) --data “hosts=[example.com](http://example.com)”

Can you guys please through some light on this? Thanks for your time.
