Hi all, I am trying to install logstash-filter-plugin behind authenticated proxy and failed to do so. So far I have used following methods ``` Setting environment variable HTTP[S]_PROXY does not work with following error Command : JARS_SKIP='true' DEBUG=1 /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-translate Error: URI::InvalidURIError: bad URI(is not URI?): http://user:password@proxy.com:8080 split at /usr/share/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/1.9/uri/common.rb:176 parse at /usr/share/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/1.9/uri/common.rb:210 parse at /usr/share/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/1.9/uri/common.rb:747 URI at /usr/share/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/1.9/uri/common.rb:994 extract_proxy_values_from_uri at /usr/share/logstash/lib/pluginmanager/proxy_support.rb:47 configure_proxy at /usr/share/logstash/lib/pluginmanager/proxy_support.rb:69 (root) at /usr/share/logstash/lib/pluginmanager/main.rb:26 ``` 2a.

I tried older version too with no luck. Please guide me where I am wrong. Thanks and Regards Lalit ---

A kind of dirty hack, I provided proxy username and password directly into file vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/1.9/net/http.rb and got problem solved. In process learned ruby a little bit Thanks and Regards Lalit ---
