Hi,

I have a kubernetes cluster managed by a default Gitlab account. All services are deployed through Gitlabs's CI/CD, so I'm not able to hand Helm directly.

I created a custom Helm chart and added the Elasticsearch chart as a dependency:

```
dependencies:
  - name: elasticsearch
    version: 7.4.1
    repository: http://helm.elastic.co/
    alias: elastic

```

But, when running the pipeline, got this error:

```
Error: no repository definition for http://helm.elastic.co/. Please add them via 'helm repo add'

```

When testing this URL in the browser, it works and returns a xml.

Just for a quick sanity check: Is [https://helm.elastic.co](https://helm.elastic.co) (note the S in HTTPS) also not working? While your browser might successfully redirect you, I'm not sure that is also happening for your dependency resolution?
