Cannot send content-body with GET request

Question

I am trying to execute a simple \"request body search\" on Elasticsearch like the following example but using .NET instead of curl

$ curl -XGET \'http://loca         


        

Answer 1

Changing the Method to POST is a workaround.

request.Method = "POST";

MSDN states that a ProtocolViolationException will be thrown if the GetResponseStream() method is called with a GET or HEAD method.
