Hi All, I want to using json file to send data to elasticsearch with curl, but got problem with limited records number in json file. Elasticsearch version: 5.6.2, Memory: 16G, Single node with 5 shards. using: curl -XPOST '[http://192.168.20.1:9200/my\_index/\_bulk?pretty](http://192.168.20.1:9200/my_index/_bulk?pretty)' --data-binary @test3.json the result is ok, and test3.json file contains 3 reocrds, the file size is 1KB. using: curl -XPOST '[http://192.168.20.1:9200/my\_index/\_bulk?pretty](http://192.168.20.1:9200/my_index/_bulk?pretty)' --data-binary @test4.json the result is error, detail information as below, test4.json file contains 4 records, the file size is .1.3KB. Some possible problems are: - Missing or unknown request method. - Missing URL. - Missing HTTP Identifier (HTTP/1.0). - Request is too large. - Content-Length missing for POST or PUT requests. - Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed. - HTTP/1.1 Expect: feature is being asked from an HTTP/1.0 software. ---

Had similar issue. If you are using proxy, try disabling proxy, which worked for me. ---
