elasticsearch - Using Jest with HTTPS and SSL -

i using jest version 0.1.6 handle requests , aws elastic search cluster (ver 1.5). seems jest defaults http, see in latest versions of jest can enable https through:

jestclientfactory factory = new jestclientfactory(); factory.sethttpclientconfig(new httpclientconfig.builder("https://localhost:9200")                 .defaultschemefordiscoverednodes("https").build(); 

however doesn't appear available in jest 0.1.6. there way use https in earlier versions of jest?
