OpenShift health check not working with HTTPS scheme or mutual auth

Issue

• Unable to successfully configure livenessProbe over HTTPS port. The setup uses mutual authentication. The documentation is not clear on how to configure this setup.

• Sample livenessProbe snippet used in the deployment:

        livenessProbe:
          httpGet:
            path: /healthz
            port: 8443
            scheme: HTTPS
          initialDelaySeconds: 120
          timeoutSeconds: 5
          periodSeconds: 10
          successThreshold: 1
          failureThreshold: 3

• Fails with the following message:

Liveness probe failed: Get https://10.x.x.103:8082/healthz: EOF 

• After this, pods go into a CrashLoopBackOff state.
