The following protocols are supported: * `file` * `ftp` * `http` * `https` * `jar`URLs using the HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP protocols must be explicitly allowed with the `repositories.url.allowed_urls` cluster setting. This setting supports wildcards in the place of a host, path, query, or fragment in the URL.
