[Geoserver-users] REST PUT to upload files from client machine

GeoServer GeoServer User
1

All,

I am trying to find a way for the users to upload files such as GeoTiff,
kml, etc. from client machine onto GeoServer workspace and wondering whether
I can use GeoServer REST PUT operation for that.

Below is an example of the REST PUT operation using curl taken from
GeoServer's REST examples.

curl -v -u admin:geoserver -XPUT -H "Content-type: application/zip"
  --data-binary @roads.zip

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/acme/datastores/roads/file.shp

I known that "@roads.zip" indicates the zip file to be uploaded. But where
is the file? Is it it relative to some path?
and what is the last line? Is it always "http://localhost:8080/geoserver"?
I could not find any examples from the internet showing how to use REST PUT
to upload files from client machine. Can some clarify this? If it can be
done with GeoServer REST API, I greatly appreciated an example in curl.

Many thanks in advance.

Tam

All,

I am trying to find a way for the users to upload files such as GeoTiff,
kml, etc. from client machine onto GeoServer workspace and wondering whether
I can use GeoServer REST PUT operation for that.

Below is an example of the REST PUT operation using curl taken from

curl -v -u admin:geoserver -XPUT -H “Content-type: application/zip”
–data-binary @roads.zip

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/acme/datastores/roads/file.shp

I known that “@roads.zip” indicates the zip file to be uploaded. But where
is the file? Is it it relative to some path?

It is relative to the path you are launching curl from. You can also specify an absolute path.

and what is the last line? Is it always “http://localhost:8080/geoserver”?

It is the url of the geoserver you need to configure with the new shapefile. That one is the default url when you install the standalone geoserver locally on your PC.
Do you have a geoserver installed on some server?

I could not find any examples from the internet showing how to use REST PUT
to upload files from client machine. Can some clarify this? If it can be
done with GeoServer REST API, I greatly appreciated an example in curl.

On the same page you found the shapefile example (http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/rest/examples/curl.html), you can find other examples for other types of data.
In this other documentation page (http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/rest/) you can find a reference for all the supported rest requests. For example to upload a geotiff you will need a coveragestore PUT request.

Cheers,
Mauro

Hi Mauro,

Thanks for you help. I tried to upload a kml file from a local machine to geoserver installed on other machine and got errors that I don’t know why. Below was what I did:

  1. I created a workspace named “kmls” using:
curl -v -u admin:geoserver -XPOST -H "Content-type: text/xml"
  -d "<workspace><name>kmls</name></workspace>"
  [http://172.16.203.30:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces](http://172.16.203.30:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces)


2. cd to a directory where that kml file is located.


3. executed the following curl command:
$ curl -v -u admin:geoserver -XPUT -H "Content-type: text/xml" -d @BalloonLinks.kml [http://172.16.203.30:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/kmls/datastores/kmls/file.xml](http://172.16.203.30:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/kmls/datastores/kmls/file.xml)

What did I do wrong?

Don’t think you can upload a kml as far as i know it is supported as output format only.
Try with a shp file instead.
