Hi,
when iam indexing file content by using base64 command utility with CURL on
linux server iam getting following exception.
Caused by: org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.JsonParseException: Failed
to decode VALUE\_STRING as base64 (MIME-NO-LINEFEEDS): Illegal character '''
(code 0x27) in base64 content.
plz provide the solution .

for the above iam using following command to get the content from file and convert into base64encode.
file\_path='/path/to/file'
file=$(base64 $file\_path | perl -pe 's/\n/\n/g')
curl -XPUT "[http://eshost.com:9200/index/type/](http://eshost.com:9200/index/type/)" -d '{
"file" : "content" : "'$file'"
}'

This is not bulk indexing, but anyway...
If you want to post binary data to Elasticsearch from command line, you
should use
echo '{"content":"'$(base64 /path/to/file)'"}' | curl -XPOST
'0:9200/test/docs/1' --data-binary @-
