Illegal chars in doc id

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

am looking to create (index) a documents with base-64 chars that include slashes.
ES reliably returns http. 400 :slight_smile:

What is the preferred work-around when this is the case? In this context, am using this as Doc ID and will not be searching on it; rather just as a nosql key lookup.

thanks in advance!

How are you indexing it? Escaping it should work.

indeed- just wanted to get verification that adding a key should use URI escaping.
Everything works fine w/ escaping: docids --and doctype too.
And for index names, the error message is self-evident:

{"error": ".. must not contain the following characters [\, /, *, ?, ", <, >, |, , ,]]","status":400}

thanks!
