Hi ,  
I installed the logstash-filter-rest plugin and tried to run this config:  
logstash --debug --path.data=/tmp/mahsa-test -e 'input { stdin {} } filter { rest { request =\> { url =\>  
"[http://www.google.se/](http://www.google.se/)" } target =\> 'rest' json =\> false }} output {stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }}'

and I get this  
Http error received {:code=\>nil, :body=\>nil, :client\_error=\>#\<Manticore::SocketException: Network is unreachable  
(connect failed)\>}

but when I do this curl command curl [http://www.google.se](http://www.google.se) I recieve the good response.  
any idea why I am getting this error?
