Thanks to the three of you for your responses. Indeed I was quite
confused about the extension table in the documentation and thought, or
should I say hoped, that the GDAL plugin would also extend the list of
allowed extensions for the REST service. As this doesn't seem to be the
case and I can't currently invest into adding such a functionality
(although I would love to), I guess my only option now is to convert the
NITF files to GeoTIFF prior to using the REST service.
Again, thanks for the clarifications!
Kind regards,
Daniel Haferkorn

Hello Daniel,
it seems the stores currently supported by Rest are only
GeoTIFF, ImageMosaic and World Image files (Images like [PNG,
JPEG, TIF] + WorldFile + PRJ) :
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/restconfig/rest-config-api.html#coverage-stores
(see the extension table).
The NITF dataset is managed by a different format (the GDAL
based one) which I don't think is currently supported by REST.
Hope this helps.
It would be a good improvement though. Rather than hardcode file
extensions to formats we could do it more dynamically by looking
up all available coverage formats.
Indeed, the problem I see is that Format has no way to tell you about
a file extension, mostly
because file extensions are not used at all, normally we open the file
and check the headers
to recognize a file, not look at its name.
One thing format has it's "name", but you would not get an extension,
more something
like "GeoTIFF", "DTED", "ERDASImg" and so on (I don't believe there is
any requirement not to have spaces in the name, although the practice
seems
to be no spaces).
Another issue is being able to tell apart file formats from service
based readers,
such as SDE, Oracle, PostGIS and so on.
One final glitch might be dealing with single file formats vs
multifile formats.
Hmm... lots of fun it seems...
Cheers
Andrea
