Hi, After the recent update of elasticsearch I started to experience problems dowloading plugins when I build docker container for the search. In particular, I receive [451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_451) when I try to download [analysis-ukrainian](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/analysis-ukrainian.html). The package is unavailable in Germany. I can download it from ukrainian ip but fail to ping it from our digital ocean servers in Frankfurt. ```auto Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 451 for URL: https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch-plugins/analysis-ukrainian/analysis-ukrainian-7.6.2.zip at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream0(HttpURLConnection.java:1919) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:1515) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionImpl.getInputStream(HttpsURLConnectionImpl.java:224) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.downloadZip(InstallPluginCommand.java:449) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.downloadAndValidate(InstallPluginCommand.java:528) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.download(InstallPluginCommand.java:307) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.execute(InstallPluginCommand.java:251) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.execute(InstallPluginCommand.java:224) at org.elasticsearch.cli.EnvironmentAwareCommand.execute(EnvironmentAwareCommand.java:86) at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.mainWithoutErrorHandling(Command.java:125) at org.elasticsearch.cli.MultiCommand.execute(MultiCommand.java:91) at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.mainWithoutErrorHandling(Command.java:125) at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.main(Command.java:90) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginCli.main(PluginCli.java:47) ``` Also, it's not possible to dowload plugin from a link ```auto wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch-plugins/analysis-ukrainian/analysis-ukrainian-7.7.0.zip ``` ```auto --2020-05-25 11:29:04-- https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch-plugins/analysis-ukrainian/analysis-ukrainian-7.7.0.zip Resolving artifacts.elastic.co (artifacts.elastic.co)... 151.101.114.222, 2a04:4e42:3::734 Connecting to artifacts.elastic.co (artifacts.elastic.co)|151.101.114.222|:443... connected.

It seems to be Digital Ocean issue. ---

Any idea why this would be an issue with digitalocean servers? I'm trying to install elastic stack on a Centos 8 machine in digitalocean and getting the same error. Edit: I'm in the US and so is my digitalocean server. ---

Turns out there is an issue with our CDN provider, they are doing some further changes in the near future to resolve this. Apologies for the troubles 🙂 ---

As the temporary workaround, I hosted the package on my server to enable [download from custom url](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/plugin-management-custom-url.html). Hope, you'll resolve the issues with CDN soon. Thanks for the response. ---
