Hi Anne,
There are a couple of different ways to use this endpoint to configure a
mosaic in this way. The method you are using is uploading the file
directly.. which with a mosaic probably won't work unless you have all the
individual files for the mosaic in the zip file... which you probably dont.
Or if your shapefile contained absolute paths to all the files but i think
usually they are relative. I might be wrong about that.
That said, a method that might work better is to use the endpoint
external.imagemosaic. This allows you to specify locations that already
exist on the server rather than upload the files directly. In this case you
woudl somehow upload all the files for the mosaic (including the shapefile
index) to the server, and then call the endpoint to simply configure the
coverage in geoserver.
Here are some useful links in the docs for you:
*
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/restconfig/rest-config-examples-curl.html#adding-an-existing-shapefile
for shapefile but same applies
*
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/restconfig/rest-config-api.html#data-stores
scroll down until you see:
/workspaces/<ws>/datastores/<ds>/file[.<extension>]
/workspaces/<ws>/datastores/<ds>/url[.<extension>]
/workspaces/<ws>/datastores/<ds>/external[.<extension>]
Hope that helps.
