Please don't post images of text as they are hardly readable and not searchable. Instead paste the text and format it with `` icon. Check the preview window. I moved your question to #x-pack. Anyway, may be you are behind a proxy? ---

Hi, I have the same issue, and yes, I'm behind a proxy. Although I have been trying to find the article that has been moved to other place, I have not found it. ---

Hi David, Thanks for the quick follow-up, and due to my DNS host does not have A record of Proxy host, I've been tyring to set ENV with IP address and still having the same exception. Do I need to set A record of Proxy host on my DNS and retry to setenv? Best Hisashi Yamaguchi ---

Using the IP address of the proxy is fine. ---
