Dear list,
I managed to upload a GeoTiff via REST without letting GeoServer making a
local copy in the data/ directory.
I did this by means of the 'external' keywork, e.g.:

> curl -u $USER:$PASSWORD -XPUT -H 'Content-type: text/plain' -d
> 'file:/path/to/my.geo.tif'
> http://$HOST:$PORT/geoserver/rest/workspaces/$WORKSPACE/coveragestores/my.geo.tif/external.geotiff

In this case the name of the coverageStore is "my.geo.tif", whereas the name
of the coverage and the published layer is turned into "my.geo".
Is this somehow part of the philosophy of the REST configuration, or is this
a bug?

I recover the correct name information by PUTting this to the coverage,
e.g.:

> curl -u $USER:$PASSWORD -XPUT -H 'Content-type: text/xml' -d
> '<coverage><name>my.geo.tif</name><title>my.geo.tif</title><metadata><entry
> key="dirName">my.geo.tif_my.geo.tif</entry></metadata><enabled>true</enabled></coverage>'
> http://$HOST:$PORT/geoserver/rest/workspaces/$WORKSPACE/coveragestores/my.geo.tif/coverages/my.geo.tif

This way, I can visualize the map, but I hope not to bring some inconsistent
configuration beneath the surface.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Piero
