Hi  
From the link [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/multi-search-template.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/multi-search-template.html)  
it uses data-binary option of [curl.Is](http://curl.Is) is possible to this command without that option and instead pass the query directly over curl?

Thanks

Without having it tried out, I would think so. Typing many distinct requests to the command-line sounds rather clumsy and error prone to me though.

The only thing that --data-binary does is to leave the newlines in the file referenced as they are instead of stripping them out.

Hope this helps,  
Isabel
