[GIS] How to download GeoTIFFs using the REST API in GeoServer 2.2

apidownloadgeoservergeotiff-tiffrest

I am using GeoServer (Version 2.2 Git Revision f5b5c35076b52d02eb9cca3fa3232bc17b5f6d80 Build Date 19-Sep-2012 18:33 GeoTools Version 8.2 (rev 704570474295e339c08d1ca140d884f23a8a03a3)) and I have a workspace named myTestWorkspace and stored with name test and type GeoTIFF.

This store has URL connection parameters as follows: file:coverages/test.tif. I would like to download *.tif file by GeoServer REST API.

I found in documentation that it is possible using URL

/workspaces/<ws>/coveragestores/<cs>/file[.<extension>]

So in my case it will be /workspaces/myTestWorkspace/coveragestores/test/file.geotiff (am I right?). But when I paste this URL I've got HTTP status 404. In documentation above is information that in this case (getting 404) are two options:

Exceptions:

GET for a data store that does not exist -> 404
GET for a data store
that is not file based -> 404

My data store exists (if for example I paste /workspaces/myTestWorkspace/coveragestores/test/file.tif then I've got Unsupported format: tif in response – this is ok, because tif is not valid format, so it means that GeoServer can see my store).

But is my data store file based? I thought that if data store has type GeoTIFF, then he is file based – am I right?

Any ideas why I cannot download TIFF file?

Thanks

Try using &format=image/tiff

This is the format that works for me when getting tiffs from Geoserver's web coverage service:

http://myserver/geoserver/myworkspace/wcs?service=WCS&version=2.0.1&request=GetCoverage&CoverageId=myworkspace:mycoverage&format=image/tiff
