http_compress=True results in ProtocolError(('Connection aborted.', BadStatusLine("''",)))

See original GitHub issue

es = Elasticsearch(hosts=['http://localhost:9200'], http_compress=True)
res = es.index(index="test-index", doc_type='testtype', body={'text': 'test'})

raises

  File "tst.py", line 16, in main
    res = es.index(index="test-index", doc_type='testtype', body=doc)
  File "/home/ubuntu/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/elasticsearch/client/utils.py", line 76, in _wrapped
    return func(*args, params=params, **kwargs)

    raise ConnectionError('N/A', str(e), e)
elasticsearch.exceptions.ConnectionError: ConnectionError(('Connection aborted.', BadStatusLine("''",))) caused by: ProtocolError(('Connection aborted.', BadStatusLine("''",)))

If I disable http_compress, it works as expected.

Env:

elasticsearch-6.3.1
urllib3-1.23
elasticsearch-oss  6.4.2
http.compression: true
Ubuntu 18.04.1

I think that a workaround might be to choose a different transport layer (but I didn’t check if it really compressing requests) : Elasticsearch(hosts=[{"host": "localhost", "port": 9200}], connection_class=RequestsHttpConnection, http_compress=True)

Note that it requires requests installation: pip install requests

I am also facing the same issue as described by @itayB. With http_compress = True it’s not working and without that param, it’s working.
