Hi There,

I just copy / past the sample in documentation about update, and.. it don't  
work :  
Doc : [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/update.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/update.html)

Index :  
curl -XPUT server:9200/test/type1/1 -d '{"counter" : 1,"tags" : ["red"]}'  
{"ok":true,"\_index":"test","\_type":"type1","\_id":"1","\_version":1}

Update :  
curl -XPOST 'server:9200/test/type1/1/\_update' -d '{"script" :  
"ctx.\_source.counter += count","params" : {"count" : 4}}'  
No handler found for uri [/test/type1/1/\_update] and method [POST]

Can someone explain me what's wrong ?

Thanks a lot !
