Any Request default method is delete

[wojons]

not sure if its just my elastichead or all of them. but since the default option for any request tab is blank with the method delete i have deleted my entire database, luckly it was test data that i can push from a script.

Not sure why that is happening, it would typically default to POST, however, since that's a possibly a nasty problem I now specifically set the default to GET

thanks for the quick fix would not want someone else to wipe there whole db, mine was 967k documents.

Guess that's still an issue somehow - if your last request was a DELETE and you come back it will be DELETE again, especially if you fill something in the body you do not really check what the request type is :(

(mine was 300k documents)

@lazerscience yeah i should have come back to say that i was still seeing this issue and i am so sorrry i am guessing u did not have any backups of that data ?

[bvallant]

Of course not... But I'm just recrawling them 😃 So I'll be fine....

Just noticed again that it is far too easy to issue a DELETE by accident...

Yeah since then i just dump my database regularly now. My data was system metrics an so on so it was lost for ever.
