I am using NodeServlet to channel rest requests to embedded ES. Is there any way I can also access deployed site plugins via /\_plugin/\*? It does not look like NodeServlet would I forward such requests to plugins so I can't use any head and other plugins to see what's going on with ES (unless I enable native HTTP handling which I do not want to do for security reasons). Is there any way I can pass plugin requests to ES? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
