Hi,

I try to send queries I tested successfully with cURL with jQuery to ES,  
but the result differs from the result with cURL.

After a Wireshark session I found out, that jQuery sends my query as URL  
parameters while cURL send the query as JSON in the body of the request  
as application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

Does someone know how to send a query via jQuery properly to ES?

Currently I call ES with jQuery with this statement

```
$.ajax({
     type:"GET",
     data: getServEventStream,
     dataType:"json",
     url:"http://localhost:9200/billingevents/server/_search",
     success:function (data) {
       // some magic...
     }
 });

```

Best,

Oliver

May be adding processData: false could help?  
Or using POST?

I did it like this a long time ago: [https://github.com/dadoonet/devoxxfr\_demo/blob/gh-pages/index.html#L592](https://github.com/dadoonet/devoxxfr_demo/blob/gh-pages/index.html#L592)

Hope this helps

With processData : false and using POST: It works!

Thank you very much!
