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](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 -- ---

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!
