I ran $ curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_plugin/?pretty](http://localhost:9200/_plugin/?pretty)' I'm debugging a plugin I'm creating, all goes well, it is recognized (I see it in the start-up logs). But of course I didn't see it at first, so I thought to check using the API to see if the plugin is present. But it doesn't work! Or am I doing something wrong?

I'm building a java plugin, just to get the hang of it (maybe we'll be building a plugin later, we'll need to see). On the docs ([Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/modules/plugins/)) it says: A list of the currently installed plugins can be retrieved from the /\_plugin/ end point: curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_plugin/?pretty](http://localhost:9200/_plugin/?pretty)' And that doesn't work. I looked in the code (HttpServer) and there's a TODO there!

Thanks for pointing that. In fact, we first did it as stated in docs but then rollback the change without rollbacking the doc! We will fix the doc.
