Hi I am using elasticsearch rest client to push data to my amazon elasticsearch domain. It works perfect with host : localhost port: 9200

whereas when I change host to point my amazon elasticsearch endpoint with the port as "80" it gives me following error Request denied by WatchGuard HTTP Proxy

I am ingesting data through post request, same post requests works if I do that through postman but it does not work with elasticsearch RestClient java.

Following code snippet is used for the same :

HttpEntity entity = new NStringEntity(json,  
ContentType.APPLICATION\_JSON);  
restClient.performRequest("POST",  
url, Collections.\<String, String\> emptyMap(), entity);

This is an issue external to Elasticsearch. Moreover I would say you have a proxy in your network. You should be contacting your network administrator about this.

Cheers
