RestHighLevelClient - Accessing an elastic http endpoint behind reverse proxy

[missourian (miss)]

My elasticsearch http endpoint has been fronted with a corporate reverse proxy and also it has a path prefix. I am in the process of migrating from Transport client to HighLevelHttpClient can someone help me how to configure the elastic http endpoint behind an reverse proxy?

here elastic is the reverse proxy path prefix
> $ curl -v http://localhost:9090/elastic

JAVA Config how to pass the URL (http://localhost:9090/elastic instead of host and port)

@Bean
public RestHighLevelClient elasticClient()  {

    return new RestHighLevelClient(RestClient.builder(
        new HttpHost(elastichost, elasticport, DEFAULT_SCHEME_NAME)));

}

Well, I did find the answer. I should have investigated the API little more

@Bean
public RestHighLevelClient elasticClient() {

return new RestHighLevelClient(RestClient.builder(
    new HttpHost(elastichost, elasticport, DEFAULT_SCHEME_NAME)).setPathPrefix("/elastic"));

}

Tookcare of the reverse proxy path prefix

Ha great! I was not aware either of this method.

Thanks for sharing your solution!
