Invalid media-type value on headers [Content-Type, Accept] on all calls in v9.0.0

[moh3nhadavi]

Hello,
I define my client as follows:

self.es = AsyncElasticsearch(
    cloud_id=config["cloud_id"],
    basic_auth=(
        config["username"],
        config["password"],
    ),
    http_compress=True,
    request_timeout=60,
)

Since I have installed the v9.0.0 version of Elasticsearch, I get

BadRequestError(400, 'media_type_header_exception', 'Invalid media-type value on headers [Content-Type, Accept]')

on all the requests. I also tried to add

{
    "Accept": "application/json",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

in the header. But it didn't work.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this bug?

Hi,

Same problem for me it was working until 8.18.0 but after is not working anymore .

@moh3nhadavi @aymentil What version of Elasticsearch are you running this against? We suspect this happens because you are using the 9.0.0 client to connect to a 8.x Elasticsearch server. Can you please confirm?

@miguelgrinberg Hello, Thanks for replying.
I realized I have elastic-transport==8.17.1 and elasticsearch==9.0.0 installed. I checked on GitHub; there is an elastic-transport v9 on Git, but it has not been published on PyPI. Do you think this is the issue?

@moh3nhadavi I need to know what server version you have. We have not released a 9.0 version of elastic-transport. The latest 8.x release should work just fine with ES 9. But you need to use a version 9 server. Can you confirm what version is your server please?

[moh3nhadavi]

@miguelgrinberg I got your point. Indeed, it is v8.13.4, not ES 9.

[miguelgrinberg]

@moh3nhadavi Okay, good. You will need to upgrade the client and the server to 9 at the same time, or else upgrade the server first and then the client. The 9.0 client does not offer compatibility with the 8.x or older servers.

@miguelgrinberg Clear, Thanks
