_status returns illegal argument exception

To work with head plugin I need http://localhost:9200/_status to work properly. However it returns:
{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"No feature for name [_status]"}]...
This queries working normal:
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_cluster/state
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_nodes/stats?all=true
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_nodes

I can't figure out what the problem is.

I don't know which version you are using but it has been deprecated in 1.2 (see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-status.html) and removed in 2.0 (see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.0/indices-status.html)
