Description

@OrBin

Elasticsearch version (bin/elasticsearch --version): 6.4.0, but relevant for most of the latest versions.

Plugins installed: Irrelevant (none)

JVM version (java -version): Irrelevant

OS version (uname -a if on a Unix-like system): Irrelevant

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:

When trying to access to port 9300 using http (using curl elasticsearch_server:9300, for example), an error message is return with the text "This is not a HTTP port".
As far as I know and found, the text message should be "This is not an HTTP port".

Moreover, "HTTP" is an acronym beginning with an H, which is pronounced "aitch", and therefore should be preceded with "an" instead of "a".

Also, according to this post, any word beginning with a vowel should be preceded by "an", including words beginning with an 'h' when written but are pronounced without 'h'.

I intend to fix this myself very soon.

Steps to reproduce: Irrelevant
