_Trying to run the following in windows_

curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/phrase/item/](http://localhost:9200/phrase/item/)' -d "{"index" : { "\_index" :  
"phrasesss"", "\_type" : "itemss"", "\_id" : "101011" }}  
{ "productName" :"the prettiest cool guy on  
earth","productID":"Zeepex","warehouse":"Malta","vendor":"Charonite  
Coporation","productDescription":"test","categories":"Software","stockLevel":100,"cost":1000}  
"  
_Which then i convert to this due to windows versions_

curl -XPOST "[http://localhost:9200/\_bulk](http://localhost:9200/_bulk)" -d "{""index"" : { ""\_index"" :  
""phrasesss"", ""\_type"" : ""itemss"", ""\_id"" : ""101011"" }}\n{  
"productName" :"the prettiest cool guy on  
earth","productID":"Zeepex","warehouse":"Malta","vendor":"Charonite  
Coporation","productDescription":"test","categories":"Software","stockLevel":100,"cost":1000}\n"

_everytime i try this i get the following_

{"error":"ActionRequestValidationException[Validation Failed: 1: no  
requests added;]","status":500}

_Any help on understand this is greatly appreciated._

Regards,  
Shawn

Consider using a JSON file and pass it to curl using -d @filename (i think it's something like that as far as I remember).
