: "The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect (missing content : stream)"
that usually means either the content type wasn't set, or there was no post data.... : curl http://localhost:8983/solr/update/csv --data-binary @blog.csv -H : 'Content-type:text/plain; charset=utf-8' : : I use the windows version of curl, running this statement from the curl : folder where the blog.csv file resides as well. my gut assumption was that you needed some whitespace in the content type (ie: 'Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8') but i was able to get this to work just fine on linux using the example setup... curl 'http://localhost:8983/solr/update/csv?commit=true' --data-binary @books.csv -H 'Content-type:text/plain; charset=utf-8' ...perhaps there is some eccentricity about windows curl? -Hoss
