[Geoserver-users] Updating coverage store parameters via rest

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hi all,

I am uploading tiff files to geoserver via rest, using:

curl -u admin:geoserver -v -XPUT -H ‘Content-type: text/plain’
-d ‘file:’“ + imageLocation + ”/“ + imageName + ”
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/mag/coveragestores/imageName/external.geotiff?configure=first&coverageName=" + coverageName

and that works fine.

What I would like to do now is set the OutputTransparentColor as well, so that the black border of my images becomes transparent. (so setting it to 000000).

I saw this
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Reload-Mosaic-CoverageStore-Coverage-after-shp-properties-file-has-been-modified-td3803889.html

and at the bottom it says to do a REST PUT with all the parameters, however that doesn’t work for me. this is what I have tried.

curl -u admin:geoserver -v -XPUT -H “Content-type: text/xml” ‘AllowMultithreadingfalseOutputTransparentColorInputTransparentColor000000SUGGESTED_TILE_SIZEInputImageThresholdValueNaNBackgroundValues255USE_JAI_IMAGEREADtrue’ http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/mag/coveragestores/imageName/coverages/LC82020242014096MTI00_B432_enh.xml

I’m getting an unresolved host error, it’s trying to read the ‘<coverage…’ etc bit:

  • getaddrinfo(3) failed for AllowMultithreading<:80
  • Couldn’t resolve host ‘AllowMultithreading<’
  • Closing connection #0
    curl: (6) Couldn’t resolve host ‘AllowMultithreading<’
  • About to connect() to localhost port 8080 (#0)
  • Trying 127.0.0.1… connected
  • Server auth using Basic with user ‘admin’

  • Closing connection #0

any ideas would be most welcome.

You forgot to add "-d" before the xml contents of your resource (and
possibly also a <enabled>true</enabled> in the
xml contents)

Hi Andrea - yes that was it, thanks. I wanted to post an answer but didn’t want to spam the list.

It also turns out that I don’t have to specify every parameter, just the one I want - so this works:
“curl -u admin:geoserver -v -XPUT -H ‘Content-type: text/xml’ -d ‘InputTransparentColor000000true’ \”http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/mag/coveragestores/imageName/coverages/“ + coverageName + ”.xml""

And yes, not about the “enabled” flag - not sure why updating the preferences 'disables’ the layer. Anyway - all good. Thanks
Toby
