Hi!

I'm trying to move my data from our old server to our new one through reindexing. This is the command I'm using in the Kibana console from the new server:

```
POST _reindex
{
  "source": {
    "remote": {
      "host": "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5601"
    },
    "index": "kpi_execution_time",
    "query": {
      "match_all": {}
    }
  },
  "dest": {
    "index": "kpi_execution_time"
  }
}

```

However, I immediately recieve this error in response, and I have not been able to find anyone with a similar error:

```
{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "exception",
        "reason": "Response didn't include Content-Type: body=<script>var hashRoute = '/app/kibana';\nvar defaultRoute = '/app/kibana';\n\nvar hash = window.location.hash;\nif (hash.length) {\n window.location = hashRoute + hash;\n} else {\n window.location = defaultRoute;\n}</script>"
      }
    ],
    "type": "exception",
    "reason": "Response didn't include Content-Type: body=<script>var hashRoute = '/app/kibana';\nvar defaultRoute = '/app/kibana';\n\nvar hash = window.location.hash;\nif (hash.length) {\n window.location = hashRoute + hash;\n} else {\n window.location = defaultRoute;\n}</script>"
  },
  "status": 500
}

```

What could be the cause of this? Thank you!

The port to use is 9200 not 5601
