is this the correct usage for the options?

curl -XPOST http://127.0.0.2:9200/_optimize?onlyExpungeDeletes=1&flush=1&refresh=1

Yes, except that the boolean parameters expect true, and not 1. Ohh wait, just pushed support for 1 as well for http parameters to indicate true :)

By the way, I think I am also going to add support to provide all this parameters in the body of the request as a JSON (instead in the query string), what do you think?

[clintongormley]

about you added support for true / 1 - please can you do that for the JSON as well. For instance:

{ query: {
        filteredQuery: {
                query: {............},
                explain: true      # should accept 1 here as well
}}

re adding the params to the JSON instead:

yes, that would make sense to me - for a wrapper like ElasticSearch.pm, it makes little difference having the params in one place or the other - it'd probably be easier to just deal with the JSON.

Added support for 0 to represent false in all places where I parse JSON or http parameters. Will work later on getting support for JSON body as well.

Hiya

Just had another thought about this:

By the way, I think I am also going to add support to provide all this
parameters in the body of the request as a JSON (instead in the
query string), what do you think?"

One request that wouldn't work so well is:

curl -XPUT 'http://127.0.0.2:9200/es_test/type_1/1?opType=create'  -d '
{
   "num" : 2,
   "text" : "foo"
}
'

because the entire JSON document represents the document being indexed, so slipping opType=create in there wouldn't work

Yes, I am referring currently only to requests that don't have a body. The one mentioned as the index/delete/create and search operations do not fall into this category. I need to think what a solution (if needed) for them will be.
