Hello,

I want to create elasticsearch `TransportClient` with basic authentication. I see that the `TransportClient` uses `InetSocketTransportAddress` but this only accepts `host` and `port`. However the url I have is this: `http://gopivotal:PASSWORD@fili-us-east-1.searchly.com`. Is there any way to specify username and password on the `TransportClient`?

Are you sure this URL is not the REST endpoint ?

If it is you can not use a Transport Client.
