I try Logstash update 6.5.4 → 6.6.0.(Via proxy)
The following error message will fail and fail.
ErrorMessage
```auto
Error Bundler::HTTPError, retrying 1/10
Could not fetch specs from https://rubygems.org/
```
But It will succeed if it does not go through the proxy.
Check the following and both 「HTTPS\_PROXY=http://」and 「HTTP\_PROXY=http://」 settings are done.

Also, Elasticsearch has successfully updated plugins via a similar proxy.
Is there any procedure or mistake?

Is there a question here?

Hi,
I am unsure what you mean here but I'll give it a go anyway.
Assuming your using linux, you open a terminal and you type:
```
export http_proxy=
export https_proxy=
```
That should be enough to connect to the outside world.
_ **Please notice the lowercase of http\_proxy and https\_proxy.** _
In the same terminal you execute your upgrade commands.
I hope this helps,
Paul.

Thanks!!
I have all 4 combinations setup, http\_proxy, https\_proxy, HTTP\_PROXY, HTTPS\_PROXY.
But Update failed.
I can do curl/wget properly with the proxy.........
I also found a question of a similar event.
> [@Log stash plugin update failed with connection error](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/log-stash-plugin-update-failed-with-connection-error/34675):
>
> I have setup proxy and I can do curl/wget properly with the proxy. I have got both http and https proxy setup. I have also exported them to both lowercase and uppercase, e.g. https\_proxy and HTTPS\_PROXY. But still trying to update plugin fails: $ bin/plugin update logstash-input-beats ERROR: Updated Aborted, message: Connection refused - Connection refused Install works file. Is there a way to manually download the updates locally and install it?
It seems like a problem not solved here as well.
I have confirmed that the procedure is not wrong, so I will check the proxy settings.

You can try the following, edit the file
> /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin
and where the line says export JRUBY append the following
> -J-Dhttp.proxyHost=\ -J-Dhttp.proxyPort=\
That could work as well..

@pjanzen
Thank you very much！！！
Once export to JRUBY\_OPTS, it succeeded.
This problem was solved. Thanks!!
