Your curl string was not correct. I put into sense and made it work and copied back to curl

Try this
curl -XPUT "http://localhost:9200/megacorp/employee/1 " -d'
{ "first_name" : "John", "last_name" : "Smith", "age" : "25","about" : "I love to go rock climbing","interests" : ["sports","music"] }'

Curl on windows is just a pain.

IIRC you have to create a json file and pass it to the command line. -d was not working for me.

I'd really suggest using SENSE or any browser plugin like REST Console.

Yes, curl on windows not work well.
So I run curl in Cygwin
