Why can't I connect to my localhost django dev server?

Question

I'm creating a django app and in the process of setting up my local test environment. I can successfully get manage.py runserver working but pointing my browser to any variation of http://127.0.0.1:8000/, http://0.0.0.0:8000/, or http://localhost:8000/ returns a "This site can’t be reached" error.

Simultaneously, django will throw a 301 error:

Starting development server at http://0.0.0.0:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
[11/Jul/2017 23:35:37] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 301 0

I've successfully deployed the app to Heroku (all URLs work there), but I can't get it running on my local machine. I've also tried heroku local's included dev server to the same effect.

For reference my django urls.py file looks like:

from django.conf.urls import url
from django.contrib import admin
from recs.views import Request1, Check1, index

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', index, name='index'),
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'^analyze1/', Request1),
    url(r'^analyze1/status/', Check1),
]

Any help appreciated!

The OP posted the solution in the original question' comments but he/she seem to have forgotten to post it as an aswer. So here it is:

Ok so the problem is because of the https, thus getting redirected, as localhost is working on http, try to comment out this line and check SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https') and also comment out the sslify from middleware as said by @ShobhitSharma
