Hi. I have a problem with displaying json request like:  
{  
a: 1,  
b: {  
a:2,  
b:3  
}  
}

i don't see any POST request with this JSON. Only options.

all good with json like:  
{  
a: 1,  
b: 2  
}

After sending a simple JSON, i see POST request and json fields.  
Some one knows the solution for this issue?

The first example can not be indexed into Elasticsearch as the `b` field occurs twice and contains both an object as well as a string, which creates a mapping conflict.
