If you use curl, then check the parameters for sending valid input. You
certainly want something like this

curl -XPOST http://localhost:9200/_river/my_csv_river/_meta --data-binary
@insertrivercsv.json

curl -XPOST http://localhost:9200/_river/my_csv_river/_meta --data-binary

@insertrivercsv.json
