I PUT a document to index `foo_multi_import_20211207`, and it results in an id of `IGzLlX0B4Xv88DkYMDQL`

Then I GET the document with `GET foo_multi_import_20211207/IGzLlX0B4Xv88DkYMDQL`, but get the error

```auto
{
  "error" : "Incorrect HTTP method for uri [/foo_multi_import_20211207/IGzLlX0B4Xv88DkYMDQL?pretty=true] and method [GET], allowed: [POST]",
  "status" : 405
}

```

What am I doing wrong? thanks in advance
