Processing Elastic API's change user password curl command with a java client.
mentions adding -H'Content-Type: application/json' for requests with body.
There is no space between -H option and the ' ( quote )
But when "Copy as curl" is used from Change passwords API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.13] | Elastic , there is a space between option -H and ' .
Please note when copied into this textarea the space is lost.
When copied to a notepad or an editor the space exists.
curl -X POST "localhost:9200/_security/user/jacknich/_password?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"password" : "new-test-password"
}
'
Which is correct usage. With space or without space
