Requests via Sense chrome extension to elasticsearch breaks when ID contains @

Question

Trying to add documents to an elasticsearch index using Sense. eg:

POST productmarket/ppt/[email protected]_Index_withNewGuid_233df4
{
 "hash" : "cake"   
}

and I get back"

Request failed to get to the server (status code: 0):

Now if I change the @ to something else it works fine.

Now we already have items in the index that have @'s in the id's. If I update them in a frontend APP we have that uses the API's to post it breaks as well eg.

BUT When I use our C# app to index a json document that has @ in its id using NEST it works. And when I try and update this document again in the frontend app (where it just broke) it works as well.

Now I have tried indexing plain document and complex documents. Nothing changes. I've tried different indexes. Still the same problem.

Any idea what is wrong?

Figured it out. Pretty stupid.

Nest URL encodes the request. Sense does not. Using the URL encoded value for @ it works fine.
