Jenkins CLI to install Jenkins plugins - error UnknownHostException


I'm trying to use Jenkins CLI to install a Jenkins plugin with command:

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080 -auth @cred install-plugin https://updates.jenkins.io/download/plugins/htmlpublisher/1.31/htmlpublisher.hpi

and got the error

Installing a plugin from https://updates.jenkins.io/download/plugins/htmlpublisher/1.31/htmlpublisher.hpi

ERROR: Unexpected exception occurred while performing install-plugin command.
