Passing JSON string in URL (query string) to _percolate

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

ElasticSearch claims that"for libraries don't support have a body for an
HTTP GET call, you can use the source variable in the URL query string.
However after days, I can't get this to work for a _percolate call. Has
anyone done this?? I'm using Java and trying to compare performance of
straight HTTP to the Java API.

here it is in CURL:

curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/test5/site' -d
'{"query":{"term":{"content":"jason"}}}'

curl -XGET
'http://localhost:9200/test5/site/_percolate?source={"doc":{"content":jason"}}'
{"error":"ElasticSearchParseException[Failed to derive xcontent from
(offset=0, length=0): []]","status":400}

The error message sounds like its not even noticing the source parameter.
Has anyone successfully done this? In any language??

Please help, thanks.

Passing source as a parameter is not supported for percolate (source is
supported for search operations). You can use POST as well, no just GET.
Where did you find that comment?
