Not able to create index(with geo_point mapping) in elasticsearch 7.3.0

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
Here is the curl command that I'm using to create an index with geo_point mapping in elasticsearch. The command works fine in elasticsearch 6.8.2, but fails to execute in 7.3.0.
command:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPUT 'http://x.x.x.x/final' -d '
{
"settings" : {
"number_of_shards" : 1,
"number_of_replicas" : 0
},
"mappings" : {
"sales" : {
"properties" : {
"location" : {
"type" : "geo_point"
}
}
}
}
}'

Error: curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

there is no problem with the connection to elasticsearch instance. I can create an index without the mappings.

Thanks.

Was able to debug little, but not all the way....

I was able to execute and create the index from Kibana Dev Tools.
The PUT looks like:
PUT testIndex
{
"settings" : {
"number_of_shards" : 1,
"number_of_replicas" : 0
},
"mappings" : {
"properties" : {
"location" : {
"type" : "geo_point"
}
}
}
}'

But, still not able to create the index with curl command.
Did the curl command change?

your two requests are different, one contains a type (which is not needed anymore for 7.x), the other one does not.

Please provide the actual response in order to debug this further. Thanks!

@spinscale, my bad I was just missing the port number in the curl command. It's working now.
Thanks.
