hi,

I am trying to reindex from a remote source which has SSL enabled. When I use a https host name, I get SSL handshake exception.

Is there a way to pass the certificate path to a reindex from remote request? I checked the documentation and dont see these details.

```
{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "s_s_l_handshake_exception",
        "reason": "General SSLEngine problem"
      }
    ],
    "type": "s_s_l_handshake_exception",
    "reason": "General SSLEngine problem",
    "caused_by": {
      "type": "s_s_l_handshake_exception",
      "reason": "General SSLEngine problem",
      "caused_by": {
        "type": "validator_exception",
        "reason": "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target",
        "caused_by": {
          "type": "sun_cert_path_builder_exception",
          "reason": "unable to find valid certification path to requested target"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "status": 500
}

```

Thanks!

ES endpoint has SSL enabled. So I cannot disable SSL just for reindexing.
