Justin,
By the way, I am actually PUTing the image to the server and NOT
POSTing.
I keep getting this error when I try to upload a png or jpg:
14 Apr 10:00:08 INFO [catalog.rest] - PUT file, mimetype: image/jpeg
14 Apr 10:00:08 INFO [catalog.rest] - Using existing coverage store:
blah
14 Apr 10:00:08 ERROR [geoserver.rest] - Error auto-configuring
coverage:Unsupported file format
14 Apr 10:00:22 INFO [catalog.rest] - PUT file, mimetype: image/png
14 Apr 10:00:22 INFO [catalog.rest] - Using existing coverage store:
blah
14 Apr 10:00:22 ERROR [geoserver.rest] - Error auto-configuring
coverage:Unsupported file format
When I try to upload a GeoTiff, I always get the following error:
14 Apr 10:03:49 INFO [catalog.rest] - PUT file, mimetype: image/tif
14 Apr 10:03:49 INFO [catalog.rest] - Using existing coverage store:
blah
14 Apr 10:03:49 ERROR [geoserver.rest] - Error auto-configuring
coverage:java.lang.NullPointerException
I hope that helps in debugging the situation.
Thanks a million!!

Justin,
I desperately tried all day yesterday to try to POST a coverage and get
Geoserver to accept my image (a GeoTiff).
I am POSTing to a CoverageStore and Workspace that I create using the
REST API.
I am POSTing the following:
URL:
/geoserver/rest/workspaces/testWorkspace/coveragestores/testStore/file.g
eotiff
POST ContentType image/tif and the POST content is the file.
I noticed that if I set the configure=none&coverageName=test flags in
the URL, then the file is ingested by Geoserver without complaining.
When I don't set these cgi parameters, things fail and complain.
Why does this happen?
Also, do I have to create a layer to host the image in the WMS? Or is
this done automatically?
Thanks a million!!
