query ElasticSearch from JQuery (or Angular) : No Living connections

Question

I'm starting with ES and at first time I just would like to make a simple test to ping my ES local instance, which is running, through JQuery or Angular.

I've made my own test using JQuery or I also followed this example : https://github.com/spalger/elasticsearch-angular-example

But I always get the same error : No Living connections.

I also tried through Java but there it works, I can query my ES local instance.

Thank you in advance for your ideas !

I'm using ES 2.4.6 but have the same issue with 5.6.2

I saw you didn't specify the schema on your host. Try adding http:// to it. It worked for me once I added that and used a server with CORS configured.

ExampleApp.service('client', function (esFactory) {
  return esFactory({
    host: 'http://localhost:9200',
    apiVersion: '2.3',
    log: 'trace'
  });
});

It could also be that your ES server requires authentication. Can you browse to the ES server without credentials?
