Following redirects does not work in es-py

I tried my best to follow the documentation and code to figure out how to enable redirects for an ES client, but keep getting an HTTP 302 response for my request. Here is my code:

headers={'connection': 'keep-alive', 'redirects': True}
es = Elasticsearch([{'host': cluster, 'port': 80}], http_auth=(user, secret), scheme='http', headers=headers)
res = es.exists(index=myIndex, doc_type='test', id='ABCDEF1234')

Here is the error message I see:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "~/x-9GQQSZlO/lib/python2.7/site-packages/elasticsearch/client/utils.py", line 76, in _wrapped
    return func(*args, params=params, **kwargs)
  File "~/x-9GQQSZlO/lib/python2.7/site-packages/elasticsearch/client/__init__.py", line 357, in exists
    doc_type, id), params=params)
  File "~/x-9GQQSZlO/lib/python2.7/site-packages/elasticsearch/transport.py", line 314, in perform_request
    status, headers_response, data = connection.perform_request(method, url, params, body, headers=headers, ignore=ignore, timeout=timeout)
  File "~/x-9GQQSZlO/lib/python2.7/site-packages/elasticsearch/connection/http_urllib3.py", line 180, in perform_request
    self._raise_error(response.status, raw_data)
  File "~/x-9GQQSZlO/lib/python2.7/site-packages/elasticsearch/connection/base.py", line 125, in _raise_error
    raise HTTP_EXCEPTIONS.get(status_code, TransportError)(status_code, error_message, additional_info)
elasticsearch.exceptions.TransportError: TransportError(302, u'')

Based on the code in es-py GitHub under connection/http_requests.py, headers set this way below should have worked. I tried these variations below but without success.

headers={'connection': 'keep-alive', 'redirects': True}
headers={'connection': 'keep-alive', 'redirects': 'true'}

What am I missing ?

@MarcDAFrame It’s built into the library already all you have to do is instantiate your connection using the requests transport class. https://elasticsearch-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/transports.html#transport-classes

@jarajapu Thanks for the issue.

Where did you find documentation about that header?

re using scheme I don’t think you should really worry about that. Just instantiate the object with a string of your cluster url.

es = Elasticsearch("https://mycluster.domain.com:9200", http_auth=('username', 'password'))
