Hello Gurus,  
I am trying to install logstash 5.5.2 version in AWS Linux RedHat 4.8.5 system, where I have white listed [https://www.elastic.co](https://www.elastic.co) and [https://rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org) web sites. though when I am installing plugins using plugin manager './logstash-plugin install --local logstash-output-email' I am getting below error...

ERROR: Something went wrong when installing logstash-output-email, message: 403 "Forbidden"

on debug, found there are 2 ruby programs 'http.rb & install.rb' throwing that error...

1 - vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/1.9/net/http.rb:2641: `403 "Forbidden"' (Net::HTTPServerException)

2 - lib/pluginmanager/install.rb:45: report\_exception("Something went wrong when installing #{plugins\_args\_human}", e)

Could any one please help me with this...
