Hi Friends,
I am new to elastic search and looking for lep!
I am trying to create mapping , buy using the same JSON at URL https://www.elastic.co/blog/analyzing-network-packets-with-wireshark-elasticsearch-and-kibana
using curl command

curl -XPUT https://xxx.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com/ciscofeed/packets/_mapping -d @mapping.json

but it is throwing below exception

{"error":"Content-Type header [application/x-www-form-urlencoded] is not supported","status":406}

My Index url https://xxxxxx.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com/ciscofeed?pretty

Out of above curl command
{
"ciscofeed" : {
"aliases" : { },
"mappings" : { },
"settings" : {
"index" : {
"creation_date" : "1547416048805",
"number_of_shards" : "5",
"number_of_replicas" : "1",
"uuid" : "7nrSmfnqR_mKhdfUxUYZ4g",

}
}
}
