Count with no body sends POST, but could send GET

[dzmitry-lahoda]

I use NEST 2.4.6 to get count:

var count = this.elasticClient.Count<T>(x => x.Index("myindex").Type<T>()).Count;

It sends POST with

{}

I believe it could send GET in this case. This may be fruitful if my credentials prevent POST, but I still need some overall count for application side optimizations/estimates and I do not want to go low level and POST adds slightly more performance overhead above GET and I want to copy/paste NEST debug output my browser. I believe it is possible to infer that it may be GET, not POST.

Makes sense, i opened #2543.

Thanks for raising this 👍

We'll release a new 2.x either this week or next week. If you need it right now you can also subclass CountRequest and override HttpMethod.
