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](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.
