Automatic ID generation (noob question)

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,
first post. Am working through the ElasticSearch Server book (packt). Not
getting what I expect with automatic id gen.
Using similar example from your website [1]
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index_.html

With a file go.txt (given below) I entered this

curl.exe -XPOST http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet
http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9200%2Ftwitter%2Ftweet&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFaLCKB2g_jrkvN34Sh2-nui24zsw
-T go.txt

got back this

{"_index":"twitter","_type":"
tweet","_id":"VJcZR33ETjC1W8LX1CnL0w","_version":1,"created":true}

Ok, it works as expected, but this

curl.exe -XPOST http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/
http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9200%2Ftwitter%2Ftweet%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNH-yzen07NdyF7mdRiqZbHIfrKv4w
-T go.txt

failed:

{"_index":"twitter","_type":"tweet","_id":"go.txt","_version":6,"created":false}

Only difference is the trailing backslash on the URL.
FYI contents of go.txt is straight off your website [1]

{
"user" : "kimchy",
"post_date" : "2009-11-15T14:12:12",
"message" : "trying out Elasticsearch"
}

Even [1] shows a trailing forward slash used, and it apparently succeeds.

Furthermore, only found this when it failed with a forwardslash (ie:
curl.exe -XPOST http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/
http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9200%2Ftwitter%2Ftweet%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNH-yzen07NdyF7mdRiqZbHIfrKv4w
-T go.txt), I added "?pretty" for readability (ie: curl.exe -XPOST
http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/
http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9200%2Ftwitter%2Ftweet%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNH-yzen07NdyF7mdRiqZbHIfrKv4w?pretty
-T go.txt) and it succeeded! Which I'm sure it shouldn't do.

Machine is windows server 2008 R2 (64-bit), curl is 7.33.0, java is
1.7.0.55. Everything is being run locally, single node etc. Really basic.
Used a file as embedding the contents in-line is a bit scrappy in windows.

Need more info? can anyone reproduce?

thanks

My advice: don't use curl.exe on windows.
You should take a look at Marvel which comes with SENSE.

It's free for development: http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/marvel/

Yeah, since the response is referring to your local file name, it's pretty
clear that the problem here is with curl.exe - it's obviously not sending
the file contents in your second example, it's sending the file name.
