Jon,

I tried POST as well. I am getting
"statusCode": 400,
"error": "Bad Request",
"message": "child "method" fails because ["method" must be one of [HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE]]",

    POST/animals/_doc/
         { "animal-type":"carnivore",
            "eating-type": "chewing",
            "legs": 4,
              "name": "Dog",
              "tail": true
        }
