Connecting to ES via a http proxy in perl client

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm trying to connect to my ES via a proxy using a client written in perl.
What's the best way to do this?

Here's what I have, and it works, but I suspect there's a more straight
forward approach:

$e = Search::Elasticsearch->new(
cxn => 'LWP',
nodes => 'node1:9200' );

$ENV{HTTP_proxy} = "http://proxy:3128";
$e->transport->cxn_pool->next_cxn->handle->env_proxy;

You should be able to do this using the default Cxn backend (HTTP::Tiny).
I haven't tried proxies but, according to the HTTP::Tiny docs, proxies are
supported: HTTP::Tiny - A small, simple, correct HTTP/1.1 client - metacpan.org

This should work:

$ENV{http_proxy} = "http://proxy:3128";
$e = Search::Elasticsearch->new( nodes => 'node1:9200' );

Yep, that works. Thanks. One can also do this:

$e = Search::Elasticsearch->new ( nodes => 'node1:9200', handle_args => {
proxy => 'http://proxy:3128' } );
