Looks like something is wrong with the curl execution and the -d option. Donno what it is, but does not look like a problem in elasticsearch.

OK. GET works, PUT does not. Neither did any of the given POST examples. But I can use PUT and POST to my other server from this PC. Any idea where I can get help figuring this out? I trying to eval this as an option to improve how we handle our financial commentaries; some 200 a day are created in our office.

how are you executing your queries?
