Hi I am getting below error while creating repository, the endpoint is http so probable reason looks like protocol i have tried changing with below command  
./elasticsearch-keystore add s3.client.default.protocol

**also, i have tried below as well**

PUT \_snapshot/xxl\_s3\_repo  
{  
"type": "s3",  
"settings": {  
"endpoint":"[xxss-xxdev.xxxxx.com](http://xxss-xxdev.xxxxx.com)",  
"protocol": "http",  
"bucket": "bucket01"

}  
}

**but error remains the same**

"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "sdk\_client\_exception",  
"reason": "sdk\_client\_exception: Unable to execute HTTP request: Connect to [bucket01.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.com/:443](http://bucket01.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.com/:443) [[bucket01.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.com/xx.x.9x.x9](http://bucket01.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.com/xx.x.9x.x9)] failed: Connection refused (Connection refused)"  
}
