Searchkick: Faraday::TimeoutError: execution expired when used in combination with AWS ElasticSearch service

[ghost]

I am trying to switch my Rails Beanstalk app to use AWS ElasticSearch in place of an EC2 instance running ElasticSearch. However requests from the Rails app seem to get blocked when trying to reach the ES service. Running curl -XGET $ELASTICSEARCH_URL returns the expected result:

{
    "status" : 200,
    "name" : "Man-Killer",
    "cluster_name" : "085567994644:curatiopv2",
    "version" : {
    "number" : "1.5.2",
    "build_hash" : "62ff9868b4c8a0c45860bebb259e21980778ab1c",
    "build_timestamp" : "2015-04-27T09:21:06Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "4.10.4"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

However, when trying to create an object through the rails app that needs to be indexed by ElasticSearch, I get a Faraday::TimeoutError: execution expired error. I don't think timeout is an issue so I wonder why this is failing and if anyone has tried searchkick with AWS ElasticSearch service?

ah it turned out I needed to have http included at the beginning of the ELATICSEARCH_URL
