ElasticSearch Error – Content-Type header [application/x-www-form-urlencoded] is not supported
To fix this, add curl option -H ‘Content-Type: application/json’. This error is due to strict content-type checking introduced in ElasticSearch 6.0
curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/products/mobiles/1?pretty' -d'
