Scroll URL length limit

[scottc52-zz]

I'm using nest to scroll through a scan query.
Nest sends a request using the url: http://{address}:9200/_search/scroll?scroll=10m&scroll_id={scroll_id}
The scroll_id gets longer if you have a lot of shards. For me, with 500 shards, I get an id of length 20708. This causes the last parts of the scroll_id to be thrown away when added to the url.

Would using the syntax from here: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/search-type/
solve the problem?
It would look like this:
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_search/scroll?scroll=10m' -d '{scroll_id}'

Wow, great edgecase !

Sadly the .NET HttpWebClient doesn't allow for a body data when doing a GET but luckily elasticsearch allows you to do a POST with BODY for almost every GET that has a BODY so the .Scroll() now does a POST.

It still passes the unit/integration tests so be sure to report back once the nest release is out.
