Hi,  
I am following documentation explained via  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-update-settings.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-update-settings.html)

When I run this command, I got acknowledged= True, followed by error  
messages below.

C:\>curl -XPUT "localhost:9200/qsearch\_perf/\_settings" -d ' { "index" : {  
"number\_of\_replicas" : 4 } }'

{"acknowledged":true}curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched brace in column 1  
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: index  
curl: (7) Failed to connect to port 80: Connection refused  
curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched brace in column 1  
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: number\_of\_replicas  
curl: (7) Failed to connect to port 80: Connection refused  
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: 4  
curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched close brace/bracket in column 1  
curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched close brace/bracket in column 1

Can you pls let me know what's wrong with my command?  
I have closed qsearch\_perf index before I run this command.

Besides, I can't run this command in separate lines in CURL, It prompt me  
error. I have to run this command in 1 line in curl.  
Is this expected behavior in CURL?

Thanks.
