Hello,
I am getting below error while installing Elasticsearch GCS plugin

Welcome to our community! 😃
Please format your code/logs/config using the `` button, or markdown style back ticks. It helps to make things easy to read which helps us help you.
Have you tried this a few times to see if it always times out?

Hi there,
I also ran into this issue installing on Elasticsearch 8.3.0.
My question is that if I paste the "discovery-ec2-linux-x86\_64-8.3.0.zip" into my browser it doesn't work. But "discovery-ec2--8.3.0.zip" does.
I understand there was some substitution of this platform URL but if this is out of my control, how can I fix it?
```bash
sudo ES_JAVA_OPTS="-Dhttps.proxyHost= -Dhttps.proxyPort=" /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install --verbose discovery-ec2
-> Installing discovery-ec2
Checking if url exists: https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch-plugins/discovery-ec2/discovery-ec2-linux-x86_64-8.3.0.zip
-> Failed installing discovery-ec2
-> Rolling back discovery-ec2
-> Rolled back discovery-ec2

```
I do not think for us this is a proxy issue but rather this architecture additional package simply does not exist.
Thanks in advance.
