HTTP version for CURL command on server and docker image

When I'm doing a CURL call

https://example.com 

from a docker container, I got the error

: (92) HTTP/2 stream 0 was not closed cleanly: HTTP_1_1_REQUIRED (err 13)

. But when I'm running the same command from the host server (RHEL) where docker container is running, it is working fine. So, I have added --http1.1 to the command in docker container, then it is working fine. But when I run the same command with --http1.1 on host server, then I got error

: option --http1.1: is unknown

. 1. How the curl picks up the http version while making the call? Is there any setting that we can define to use a specific version by default? 2. Why --http1.1 is not working on server, but working in docker container? Curl version on server is 7.29.0. Curl version on docker container is 7.64.0
