Same problem here. I'm using Logstash 5.1.1 and have set the proxy according to: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/working-with-plugins.html#proxy-plugins:](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/working-with-plugins.html#proxy-plugins:)

```
root@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# echo $http_proxy
http://proxy.host:3128
root@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# echo $https_proxy
http://proxy.host:3128
root@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# echo $HTTP_PROXY
http://proxy.host:3128
root@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# echo $HTTPS_PROXY
http://proxy.host:3128

```

Trying to install the "multiline" plugin and I get a _Connection refused_:

```
root@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# DEBUG=1 ./logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-multiline

```

It seems that logstash-plugin is simply ignoring the proxy.
