NEST not indexing

Question

Forgive me if this is redundant or I'm missing something simple, but I'm playing around with ElasticSearch (and NEST in particular) to see if it would be a good add for our b2b ecommerce site's search function.

I grabbed the latest NuGet of NEST and then tried to serialize and add something to an index. Here is a snippet of the approach I was using

        var localhost = new Uri("http://localhost/9200");
        var setting = new ConnectionSettings(localhost).SetDefaultIndex("cpi_catalog");
        var client = new ElasticClient(setting);
        client.MapFromAttributes<Item>();
        var testitem = new Item()
        {
            Description = "test",
            Id = 9999999,
            Manufacturer_Id = 5,
            Quantity_Per_Unit = 1,
            Quantity_Unit_Id = "EA",
            SKU = "AVE29845",
            Subtitle = "test",
            Title = "test"
        };
        var status = client.Index(testitem);

However, it seems that testitem is never indexed at all, when I do a GET for /cpi_catalog/items/9999999 I get the following:

{"_index":"cpi_catalog","_type":"items","_id":"9999999","exists":false}

What seemingly simple thing am I missing here?

EDIT: When debugging, I get back a Nest.IndexResponse with all fields NULL besides status.OK which is false

Seems like the uri is has a typo:

var localhost = new Uri("http://localhost/9200");

should probably be:

var localhost = new Uri("http://localhost:9200");
