Downloading plugins behind a proxy

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hey all,

I'm having some trouble downloading elasticsearch plugins from within a heavily firewalled environment.

This is what happens:

[root@aoaapld00135la ~]# /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin  -i elasticsearch/marvel/latest --verbose
-> Installing elasticsearch/marvel/latest...
Trying http://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/marvel/marvel-latest.zip...
Failed: UnknownHostException[download.elasticsearch.org]
Trying http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=elasticsearch/marvel/latest/marvel-latest.zip...
Failed: UnknownHostException[search.maven.org]
Trying https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/repositories/releases/content/elasticsearch/marvel/latest/marvel-latest.zip...
Failed: UnknownHostException[oss.sonatype.org]
Trying https://github.com/elasticsearch/marvel/archive/latest.zip...

Trying https://github.com/elasticsearch/marvel/archive/master.zip...
Failed: UnknownHostException[github.com]
Failed to install elasticsearch/marvel/latest, reason: failed to download out of all possible locations..., use --verbose to get detailed information

I have an http proxy setup that allows me to pull down the file using wget:

[root@aoaapld00135la ~]# wget http://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/marvel/marvel-latest.zip
--2015-07-15 13:56:59--  http://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/marvel/marvel-latest.zip
Connecting to 173.213.208.231:80... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK

Saving to: “marvel-latest.zip”

100%[======================================================================================================================================================================================================================================>] 2,001,380   --.-K/s   in 0.1s

2015-07-15 13:56:59 (13.3 MB/s) - “marvel-latest.zip” saved [2001380/2001380]

[root@aoaapld00135la ~]# echo $http_proxy
xx.xx.xx.xx.:80

Is there someplace I can set the proxy information that will me to use the plugin command directly?

Thanks
