I'm using a trial version of Elastic cloud. I found the Elasticsearch end point using the admin console at [https://cloud.elastic.co/home](https://cloud.elastic.co/home). I was able to log into the endpoint with a Firefox browser using the elastic username and password. I then used eland to import a pre-trained NLP model. I used the command below (the private data replaced with X for security reasons):

eland\_import\_hub\_model -u elastic -p XXXXXXXXXX --url [https://xxxx.es.us-west-2.aws.found.io](https://xxxx.es.us-west-2.aws.found.io) --hub-model-id sentence-transformers/msmarco-MiniLM-L-12-v3 --task-type text\_embedding --start

The eland command above displayed the following error message:

ValueError: URL must include a 'scheme', 'host', and 'port' component (ie '[https://localhost:9200](https://localhost:9200)')

Why doesn't the eland command work with the cloud Elasticsearch endpoint? My [Elastic.co](http://Elastic.co) cloud endpoint for Elasticsearch does not have a port number. Is there a parameter that I can use to disable the port verification?
