You can simply curl that URL and you will have connected.

But you really need to provide more information, what do you want to achieve?

@warkolm  
Server on my work sends documents into ES on this cluster([http://faststat.trade.com:9200/](http://faststat.trade.com:9200/)). I want to connect and work with data at home.  
I've tried curl -X GET [http://faststat.trade:9200/](http://faststat.trade:9200/) from terminal and it returns me Could not resolve host. Is it matter that i have IOS in home and my server on windows?  
Sorry for noob questions? It's absolutely new thing for me!!!! And I need advise what i should do next.

It's probably because that is not a public DNS entry, you will need to connect to your works network for this to work.
