Openshift ingressgateway `http` vs `https`

I have installed istio on my openshift cluster. To test, I got sample bookinfo application working on http.
When I tried it for my actual application http works but not https. I am not sure if I need to change anything on router config?

The following is the yaml

---

The following shows the correct certs on ingressgateway

kubectl exec -ti $(kubectl get po -l istio=ingressgateway -n istio-system -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -n istio-system -- curl  127.0.0.1:15000/certs

The following is the route

 oc get route istio-wildcard-ingress -n istio-system
NAME                     HOST/PORT                         PATH      SERVICES               PORT      TERMINATION   WILDCARD
istio-wildcard-ingress   www.istio.myurl.myexample.com             istio-ingressgateway   http2                   Subdomain

When I try curl on http

curl -kv http://asdfgapi.istio.myurl.myexample.com/api/v1/applicant/searchByANumber?aNumber=A123456789

I get a 200 and a correct response back. I see the correct logs in the pods and in envoy proxy

BUT The following curl on https doesnt work

curl -kv https://asdfgapi.istio.myurl.myexample.com/api/v1/applicant/searchByANumber?aNumber=A123456789

I get 503 back along with the following

<div>
      <h1>Application is not available</h1>
      <p>The application is currently not serving requests at this endpoint. It may not have been started or is still starting.</p>

      <div class="alert alert-info">
        <p class="info">
          Possible reasons you are seeing this page:
        </p>
        .....
      </div>
    </div>

The following doesnt return any logs related to my pod

kubectl logs istio-ingressgateway-7f8dd8f46f-xnlwq -n istio-system

Obviously the request is not reaching the pod

Any suggestions on the issue why https doesnt work ?

When I do a

istioctl pc -n istio-system routes istio-ingressgateway-7f8dd8f46f-k5zfh -o json

I see the following

appreciate any suggestions on debugging

@ravi_gude, Could you define the ingressgateway route edge as with a redirect policy from http to https as following:
oc create route edge --service=istio-ingressgateway --insecure-policy=Redirect
When checking the route, you should have the termination set to edge/Redirect

oc get route istio-ingressgateway
NAME                   HOST/PORT                                                                    PATH      SERVICES               PORT              TERMINATION     WILDCARD
istio-ingressgateway   istio-ingressgateway-istio-system.my-domain             istio-ingressgateway   http2             edge/Redirect   None
