For fun I went back just now and tried running `curl --user elastic:<password> "https://<clusterid>.us-east-1.aws.found.io:9243/`  
along with `curl --user logstash:<password> "https://<clusterid>.us-east-1.aws.found.io/9243"` and have found that both commands hangs whenever I am experiencing [this issue](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-elasticsearch-output-plugin-hangs-at-health-check/77040) that I had in a previous thread I posted. It seems that issue still is occurring on my end and I have not been able to get the error to consistently occur.

In addition, if I run a command like `curl -L google.com` (-L for redirecting since omitting the -L will just result in a 301) I receive html as expected.
