Sorry, it was due to a typo on my part. As long as I include "update=overwrite" it works correctly.

It seems as though the original PostGIS table structure can't be changed though? If I add or remove attribute fields from the shapefile, those changes are not reflected in the PostGIS data structure when I re-upload it.

Hi Matt,

I am not able to reproduce this one.. I just tried a few tests and update=overwrite behaves as it should. What client are you using? Just curl?

    If I upload a shapefile using a REST URL to replace an existing
    layer stored in PostGIS, the shapefile features are appended to
the PostGIS table, rather than replacing the current features. Adding "update=overwrite" does not seem to change this behavior:
