elasticsearch REST API escape sequence

Question

I happened created a strange index name osquery-mounts-%host"} via logstash ruby filter code,

Now I can not delete it:

curl -XDELETE 'http://el:9200/osquery-mounts-%host"}'

It reports error

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"invalid escape sequence `%ho' at index 15 of: osquery-mounts-%host"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"invalid escape sequence `%ho' at index 15 of: osquery-mounts-%host"},"status":400}[

Whatever I add backslash to escape % and { }, it report similar error.

I'v also tried delete it from kibana develop tools but failed.

How can I delete the index?

Sorry, I figured it out.

curl -sSL -XDELETE 'http://el:9200/osquery-mounts-%%\{host\}'

Use %% to escape %, use backslash to escape { and }
