Hi, all.

When I use following query with http protocol,

curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_river/my\_db/\_meta](http://localhost:9200/_river/my_db/_meta)' -d '{  
"type":"couchdb",  
"couchdb":{  
"host":"my.domain",  
"port":15984,  
"user":"admin",  
"password":"admin  
"db":"my\_db"  
},  
"index":{  
"index":"my\_db",  
"type":"my\_db",  
"bulk\_size":"100",  
"bulk\_timeout":"10ms"  
}  
}'

it works very well (!)

But, when I use 'https' protocol like below query,

curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_river/my\_db2/\_meta](http://localhost:9200/_river/my_db2/_meta)' -d '{  
"type":"couchdb",  
"couchdb":{  
"host":"my.domain",  
"protocol":"https",  
"port":16984,  
"no\_verify":"true",  
"user":"admin",  
"password":"admin",  
"db":"my\_db2"  
},  
"index":{  
"index":"my\_db2",  
"type":"my\_db2",  
"bulk\_size":"100",  
"bulk\_timeout":"10ms"  
}  
}'

this made a index meta ( I can see index info 'my\_db2' in elastic-  
head ),  
but any indexing data created. ( in elastic-head's browse tab, I can't  
view any data except \_meta,\_status of index.)

Have I mistakes ?

How can I use 'https' protocol with couchdb?

- Thanks -
