If i'm using [xyz.com](http://xyz.com) as the host with HighLevelRestClient, it says unable to parse response body . If I'm using [xyz.com:8080/elasticsearch](http://xyz.com:8080/elasticsearch) as the host with HighLevelRestClient, it says UnknownHostException. I'm not sure what i'm missing here. ---

it is a kibana host for elasticsearch. I've tried using TransportClient in place of HighLevelRestClient using [xyz.com](http://xyz.com) bit it gives the exception : cannot find any configured nodes. I think the issue here is how to give this entire url host in the request? ---

Sorry but I don't understand. Kibana runs by default on 5601. Elasticsearch runs by default on 9200. What is supposed to run on 8080 or 80? What are you trying to do here? ---

I'll try to explain my issue clearly I have given a host from the client which says like : [xyz.com:8080/elasticsearch](http://xyz.com:8080/elasticsearch) If I only use "[xyz.com](http://xyz.com)", it gives me ElasticSearchException "Invalid request payload JSON format" & that is true also because I havn't specified "/elasticsearch " anywhere. But if I give the host as complete URL i.e. [xyz.com:8080/elasticsearch](http://xyz.com:8080/elasticsearch) (which works fine with POSTMAN) , it gives unknown host exception. ☹ How can I specify the part of the URL i.e. "/elasticsearch" which is after the host in my Java spring code? I PS. I'm using HighLevelRestClient ---

Do you have a reverse proxy or something similar which translate localhost:9200 to [xyz.com:8080/elasticsearch](http://xyz.com:8080/elasticsearch)? What is the output of: ``` curl xyz.com:8080/elasticsearch ``` ---

I don't know how to do curl, but on hitting it on browser, I get the response with **tagline**"You Know, for Search" ---
