Could not get http poller to work in pulling a public API data
```auto
input {
http_poller {
urls => {
urlname => "https://pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/offers/v1.0/aws/AmazonRedshift/20200511174831/us-east-1/index.json"
}
request_timeout => 60
metadata_target => "http_poller_metadata"
schedule => { cron => "* * * * * UTC"}
proxy => { host => "xxxxx" port => 8080 scheme => 'https' }
}
}
output {
stdout {
codec => rubydebug
}
}
```
Error:
```auto
{
"tags" => [
[0] "_http_request_failure"
],
"@timestamp" => 2020-06-07T01:20:00.964Z,

"method" => "get"
}
}
}
```
I tried to export the SSL key and use the truststore, which results in below error.
```
"name" => "test2",
"runtime_seconds" => 1.1336709999999999,
"error" => "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target"
```
Can you please suggest what is wrong with these settings? I am able to download the file without any issues using curl when I export the proxy variables.
