Jörg - Specifying the url somehow does not work. However based on the second suggestion, I was able to first download the zip and then specify the url of local file which worked fine. just curious why would specifying an internet/http url not work and specifying file:/// url works? -Amit.

actually my question is more around why the "wget" of file works but a direct install of plugin (which internally might be using something equivalent of wget) does not work. We can surely download plugins one by one and then install it the way as mentioned above (_bin/plugin -u file:///your/zip/file/path -i mobz/elasticsearch-head_) but understanding the problem would help. -Amit.

Great, this works! _Thanks_ much Jun! I did not know that proxy parameters are supported in the plugin command. I kind of assumed that it would pick the proxy settings from the system but that does not seem to be the case. also the usage doesn't talk about proxy: _Usage: -u, --url [plugin location] : Set exact URL to download the plugin from -i, --install [plugin name] : Downloads and installs listed plugins [_] -r, --remove [plugin name] : Removes listed plugins -l, --list : List installed plugins -v, --verbose : Prints verbose messages -s, --silent : Run in silent mode -h, --help : Prints this help message\* However I am good now, thanks everyone 🙂 -Amit.

Hi, I read the code org.elasticsearch.plugin.PluginManager.java. PluginManager use java.net.URL.openConnection() to download plugins. -DproxyPort and -DproxyHost parameter is Java Networking system properties. Using http.proxyPort and http.proxyHost instead of proxyHost and proxyPort is recommended currently, see the following reference link. But, I don’t try to use “http.\*” system properties because I don’t have proxy environment. Sorry.
