Check if an ingest pipeline exists

Hi,

I have a scenario where I have to create an ingest pipeline if it doesn't already exists.

So I issue a get pipeline call with the id to check if it already exists but it returns the following:

Invalid NEST response built from a unsuccessful low level call on GET: /_ingest/pipeline/Document-Processor-
Pipeline

# OriginalException: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

# Request:
<Request stream not captured or already read to completion by serializer. Set DisableDirectStreaming() on     ConnectionSettings to force it to be set on the response.>
# Response:
{}

Is there any way I can check if a pipeline exists which wouldn't return an invalid response if it doesn't exists? or can I simply use PutPipeline method everytime instead of checking and adding the pipeline?

I'm using elastic search 5.1.2 and NEST 5.x

Note: I did set the DisableDirectStreaming() option on the connection settings but still I still get the above message

Thanks

404 is a totally correct response IMO.
It just says that the pipeline does not exist.

Can't you catch that WebException and get the error code and compare it to 404?
