I am trying to perform a php CURL request to ElasticSearch to index several entries at a time (with _bulk), but I always get a different error based on the request body

>         $posted = '';
>         for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
>             $posted .= json_encode(array(
>                 'index' => new stdClass(),
>             )) .'\n';
> 
>             $posted .= json_encode(array(
>                 'id' => $i,
>                 'name' => 'XX' . $i,
>             ));
>             
>             if($i < 9){
>                 $posted .'\n';
>             }
>         }
> 
>         $fullURL = 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/myindex/mytype/_bulk';
>         $conn = curl_init($fullURL);
> 
>         curl_setopt($conn, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
>         curl_setopt($conn, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
>         curl_setopt($conn, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
>         curl_setopt($conn, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, false);
>         curl_setopt($conn, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
>         curl_setopt($conn, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $posted);
>         $res = curl_exec($conn);
>         echo $res;

with the above param string I get this error:

"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"action_request_validation_exception","reason":"Validation Failed: 1: no requests added;"}],"type":"action_request_validation_exception","reason":"Validation Failed: 1: no requests added;"},"status":400}

I have tested it with single requests encoded in JSON and it works fine.
So, how can I perform _bulk indexing with php curl?

EDIT: --- Edited for more readability, see the answer below. I tried everything I found on the web for 2 days, hope it helps someone else.
