I don’t get any error or any effect from this curl command: curl http://localhost:8983/solr/update?commit=true --data-binary ' <delete><query>sku:td-01</query></delete>'
But, if I add the xml header, it works fine: curl http://localhost:8983/solr/update?commit=true -H "Content-Type: application/xml" --data-binary ' <delete><query>sku:td-01</query></delete>' It would be nice if Solr would default to application/xml, but a friendly error return would be better than a no-op in this case. FWIW, curl –v shows this header being sent if I don’t specify it explicitly: Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded -- Jack Krupansky
