ES GET Query in C#

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm not sure how to send a GET request with a JSON payload in C#. The
framework will throw an error when I try to get a RequestStream to write to
it.

Can someone explain how I can emulate the CURL GET command (curl -GET
"http://localhost:9200/index/type/_search" -d "{ "query" : .... }") in C#?

I was looking at NEST and it seems like it uses Thrift. Is there a
requirement that in C# I would need to use Thrift instead of an HTTP GET
Request with a payload??

Also, I've heard that GET with a payload is invalid, but read somewhere
that HTTP RFC says that it's ok.

Thanks,
Nick

POST should work too.

I tried that in curl but I don't get any hits.... I'm not sure if it works.
Have you tried it?

Thanks for the quick response!

yup! Not sure if the Content-Type matters, since what I am sending is
NOT x-www-form-urlencoded :slight_smile:

sh> curl -v -i http://localhost:9200/_search -XPOST -d
