Can't connect to Bonsai on Heroku

[katowulf]

Hi There! Hoping to get some expert eyes to help me work through this config issue.

I've successfully run elasic.js vs a local ElasticSearch server. No problems or hangups to speak of--wacky fun! However, when I try to connect to Bonsai on Heroku, I start to see a barrage of these errors:

failed to index user/bruce: Error: getaddrinfo EFAULT
failed to index user/chan: Error: getaddrinfo EFAULT
failed to index user/chuck: Error: getaddrinfo EFAULT

I'm fairly well convinced this has something to do with the URL structure, which contains auth creds and does not seem to have a port number. It looks very close to this:

https://d38xxxxkb:dfxxxxxxxua2@birch-999999.us-east-1.bonsai.io

I can CURL against that URL with great success:

> curl -X POST https://d38xxxxkb:dfxxxxxxxua2@birch-999999.us-east-1.bonsai.io
{"ok":true,"acknowledged":true}

Additionally, however I set up the port number in elastic.js, I get the exact same error:

var URL = 'https://d38xxxxkb:dfxxxxxxxua2@birch-999999.us-east-1.bonsai.io';
ejs.client = nc.NodeClient(URL,  9200);  // same error
ejs.client = nc.NodeClient(URL,  80);     // same error
ejs.client = nc.NodeClient(URL,  null);   // same error
ejs.client = nc.NodeClient(URL,  '');       // same error
ejs.client = nc.NodeClient(URL,  false); // same error
ejs.client = nc.NodeClient(URL,  'foo');  // same error

I see a similar error running this from the jQuery client (it removes the auth creds and reports a 404):

ejs.client = ejs.jQueryClient('https://d47xxxxx:dfxxxxxxxxxx2@birch-9999999999.us-east-1.bonsai.io');
ejs.Document('index', 'user', '1').source({
     user: 'mrweber',
     message: 'Elastic.js - a Javascript implementation of the ElasticSearch Query DSL and Core API'})
     .doIndex(function() {});

What horrible sin of noobness have I fallen victim to?

Cheers,

With the release of the official javascript client we will be dropping support for the various clients and move to supporting only the core dsl on top of the official client. I suggest you use the official client and then use the version of elasticjs from the master branch which is designed to work with the official client.

If you want to use the old version of elastic.js, something like the following should work:

ejs.client = nc.NodeClient('birch-999999.us-east-1.bonsai.io', '443', 'https').option('auth', 'd47xxxxx:dfxxxxxxxxxx2');

Sounds great @mattweber; thanks for the follow-up!
