Hi there, I am using curator (5.7.6 version) to manage my AWS ES (6.3 version) indices, My curator is running on machine which needs proxy for internet access, so i have configured squid proxy and able to connect internet. But when my curator tries to connect ES it gives error :  
`Error: ConnectionError((<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7f83fa1be390>, 'Connection to search-demo-smp-scp3gqfdtlvaiwmn7f7ai2far4.eu-central-1.es.amazonaws.com timed out. (connect timeout=30)'))`

i also tried putting `url_prefix: my_squid_proxy:port` in curator config, still same error. My curator works fine if i put it on non proxied machine. Does anyone have idea, what's the cause of this issue?

Curator does not currently support proxied connections. This can be [manually worked around](https://github.com/elastic/curator/pull/1259/files) in the interim.
