Hello 
First I would like to understand how 
rest api works.
I tried to upload a geotiff file via 
rest api.
For example if I want to create a 
layer of type coverage I upload the file with this 
synthaxe:
 
http://localhost:8081/geoserver/rest/workspaces/namespaceName/coveragestores/coverageStoreName/url.geotiff
and I push the url of the file into 
the httpurlconnection outputstream.
 
this atually create a folder in 
/workspaceName/CoverageStoreName create a xml file named coverageStore.xml and 
put et layer.xml and a coverage.xml.
The problem is that it also copies 
the geotiff file into /data directory instead of putting it into 
/data/layerName 
inorder to be rendered by geoserver.
I don’t understand 
why.
 
I found another 
synthaxe:
 
http://localhost:8081/geoserver/rest/workspaces/namespaceName/coveragestores/coverageStoreName/file.geotiff
 
 that put the right file in the 
right folder in /data/LayerName but doesn’t create the configuration files 
associated with the coverage.
Could you please explain how RestApi 
works in this case .
 
 
I have another 
question:
When I try to upload a big file, the 
jvm returns an out of memory exception. Is there a limited data size to post by 
restApi?
 
In this case, how can I post Big 
files wich are pyramid-shaped with gdal.There is a utility that produce an 
index 
shapefile and a property file but How can I insert this in geoserver 
layers.
 
Last 
question:
 
How is it possible to update a layer 
or a lyergroup for example via rest with method PUT but without writing all the 
xml code into the httpUrlConnection outputStream.
Is it possible for exemple to add a 
layer to a layergroup only with the xml code of the 
layer.
 
 
I don’t have question anymore. 
Thnank you for by advance for you answer.
