Hi,

I have installed elasticsearch in ubuntu and have set the following  
http.host : 0.0.0.0  
http.bind\_host: 0.0.0.0  
http.cors.allow-origin: "\*"  
http.cors.enabled : true

Am using **\_cluster/health** api

When I do curl **[http://localhost:9200/\_cluster/health](http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health)** it is returning results .

When I do the same from browser passing IP **[http://IPADDRESS:9200/\_cluster/health](http://IPADDRESS:9200/_cluster/health)** it is not returning anything. (404 - This site can’t be reached)

However , both **[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200), [http://IPADDRESS:9200](http://IPADDRESS:9200)** is returning the default elasticsearch response ."You Know, for Search"

This issue is happening even with **\_cluster/stats** api

@Igor_Motov Can you please help with this ?

`it is not returning anything`, `404` and `This site can’t be reached` are 3 completely different conditions. Can you be a bit more precise here? For example, what do you get when you run

```auto
curl -v http://IPADDRESS:9200/_cluster/health

```

When I try curl am getting the following response

> ```
> HTTP/1.1 200 OK
> 
> ```

```
content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
content-length: 389
 Connection #0 to host <<IPADDRESS>> left intact
{"cluster_name":"elasticsearch","status":"green","timed_out":false,"number_of_no des":1,"number_of_data_nodes":1,"active_primary_shards":0,"active_shards":0,"rel ocating_shards":0,"initializing_shards":0,"unassigned_shards":0,"delayed_unassig ned_shards":0,"number_of_pending_tasks":0,"number_of_in_flight_fetch":0,"task_ma x_waiting_in_queue_millis":0,"active_shards_percent_as_number":100.0}

```

When I hit the same in the browser am getting **This site can't be reached .The connection was reset**

Note : When I just use **[http://IPADDRESS:9200](http://IPADDRESS:9200)** instead of using **[http://IPADDRESS:9200/\_cluster/health](http://IPADDRESS:9200/_cluster/health)** am getting response in the browser

Perhaps, you have have some proxy settings or some other issues with your browser that prevent you from reaching the server. You can try analyzing the traffic between your server and the browser using wireshark or browser's development tools to see where the requests is actually getting sent and what you get back in response in both cases (when it works and when it doesn't work).

Yeah I will try that out . But when I try apis such as **([http://ipaddress:9200/\_node/stats](http://ipaddress:9200/_node/stats))** or  
**[http://IPADDRESS:9200/INDEX/](http://IPADDRESS:9200/INDEX/)** in the browser its giving response .

I am seeing this issue when I use the cluster endpoint mainly
