Seems to be any command that I run. I tried something simple:  
Get /\_template

The response is:  
{  
"statusCode": 400,  
"error": "Bad Request",  
"message": "child "method" fails because ["method" is required]",  
"validation": {  
"source": "query",  
"keys": [  
"method"  
]  
}  
}

I can run it as curl from the kibana host cli just fine. ES version is 5.4.0, Kibana is 5.4.3

I'm seeing this same issue. Any resolution, would be greatly helpful.

For me, seems to be related to using:  
server.basePath: "/thingy"

If that is set, the dev tool requests fail. Without that it works fine.
