Don't use curl on Windows or read its doc. not the same implementation as on Linux. Use marvel / Sense or any REST plugin for your browser. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs > Le 27 févr. 2015 à 20:05, Anandkumar Gunasekaran [anandkumartcode@gmail.com](mailto:anandkumartcode@gmail.com) a écrit : > > Hi All, > > I am unable to create mappings to an index using cURL command. > > cURL command to create index: > > C:\Program Files\cURL\bin\>curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/a](http://localhost:9200/a)" > {"acknowledged":true} > > cURL command to create mapping: > > curl -X PUT "[http://localhost:9200/a/\_mapping/demand](http://localhost:9200/a/_mapping/demand)" --data-binary@t.txt > > Exception thrown: > > {"error":"MapperParsingException[malformed mapping no root object found]","status":400} > > cURL command provided in t.txt file: > > "properties": > { > "strCol": { > "type": "multi\_field", "analyzer": "english", "fields": {"raw": { "type": "string", "index": "not\_analyzed" } } > }, > "longCol": { > "type": "long" > }, > "DateCol": { > "type": "date", > "format": "dateOptionalTime" > }, > "doubleCol": { > "type": "double" > }, > } > > Please help!! > > ## Thanks, Anandkumar G > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > To view this discussion on the web visit [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/6a068363-f0c2-4b03-9bf0-cf0f4e80be29%40googlegroups.com](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/6a068363-f0c2-4b03-9bf0-cf0f4e80be29%40googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/d/optout](https://groups.google.com/d/optout). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Thank you David. Yes, marvel / sense is an excellent tool to achieve it. But in my case, I am _not supposed to use CHROME/any other EXCEPT INTERNET EXPLORER_ for my requirement. It would be great if you can share any other options available in IE with REST plugin. FYI: I am using Internet Explorer 9 with Many Thanks, Anandkumar G -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
