GeoServer REST API update coverage

Question

I have created a ECW coverage store and a coverage using the GeoServer REST API. Initial I used the srs bounds for the coverage and the preview shows this (what I expected):

enter image description here

Now I want to update (PUT) the coverage and calculate the nativebbox & latlonbbox with this path/query:

https:// ... /geoserver/rest/workspaces/org1/coveragestores/Meerssen/coverages/meerssen_ecw?calculate=nativebbox,latlonbbox

Tested in Postman with no body (Content-Length=0 & no Content-Type), gives a 415 response code.

Why do I get the 415 Unsupported Media Type response? Do I need to supply a body or Content-Type?

Answer 1

GeoServer documentation is broken (I had the same error).

I sent a PUT request to https:// ... /geoserver/rest/workspaces/{workspacesName}/coveragestores/{storeName}/coverages/{coverageName} with body:

{
 "coverage": {
 "srs": "EPSG:4326"
 }
}

And a miracle happened !!! Coverage successfully updated!
