Summary
~~~~~~~

In some cases you may be obliged to connect to your Elasticsearch cluster
through a proxy of some kind. There may be a URL prefix before the API URI
items, e.g. `http://example.com/elasticsearch/` as opposed to
`http://localhost:9200`. In such a case, the `--url_prefix` flag is necessary.

Flags
