How do I upload a .tif file to my running GeoServer via Node.js? I'd like to upload a GeoTIFF to provide it as a WMS by the GeoServer.
The GeoServer is responding with a 405, which I think is right (http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/rest/api/coveragestores.html#workspaces-ws-coveragestores-cs-file-extension). Unfortunately, I can't find the file on the GeoServer.
This is my code:
// GeoServer upload
var http = require('http');
var auth = 'Basic ' + new Buffer('admin' + ':' + 'geoserver').toString('base64');
//build the object to post
var post_data = (path.join(paperpath, paperid, "geotiff", req.files["otherfiles"][fileno].originalname)); // Path to .tif file
var s = JSON.stringify(post_data);
var post_options = {
host: 'localhost',
port: '9000',
path: '/geoserver/rest/workspaces/myWorkspace/coveragestores/test/file',
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Length': s.length,
'Content-Type': 'image/tif',
'Authorization': auth
}
}
// Set up the request
var post_req = http.request(post_options, function(res) {
res.setEncoding('utf8');
console.log(res.statusCode);
res.on('data', function(chunk) {
console.log('Success! ' + chunk);
});
});
// post the data
post_req.write(s);
post_req.end();
