Description

Getting error when trying to index documents into elasticsearch

 

Content-Type header [application/x-www-form-urlencoded] is not supported

 

Elasticsearch requires strict content type for rest requests

 

https://www.elastic.co/blog/strict-content-type-checking-for-elasticsearch-rest-requests

 

this was fixed by changing the 

apache-manifoldcf-2.9/connectors/elasticsearch/connector/src/main/java/org/apache/manifoldcf/agents/output/elasticsearch file

ElasticSearchIndex.java:      return new BasicHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

 

to

 

ElasticSearchIndex.java: return new BasicHeader("Content-type","application/json");
