Hi Guys,

I'm using the elasticsearch python module.

I'm using the **es.helpers.scan** for large amounts of documents to be returned.

When I run my script I seem to be getting this error more often then not.

**: ConnectionError(('Connection aborted.', BadStatusLine("''",))) caused by: ProtocolError(('Connection aborted.', BadStatusLine("''",)))**

Any idea what this could be caused by?

Please assist 🙂

Thank you,  
Rivaan
