While trying to update an existing ImageMosaic in GeoServer using the REST API, following the documentation (provided here http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/rest/examples/curl.html#uploading-and-modifying-a-image-mosaic)
using the following command
curl -u admin:geoserver -XPOST -H "Content-type: text/plain" -d "file:///path/to/file/img.tiff" "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/opengeo/coveragestores/klicfinal/external.imagemosaic"
I get an empty response, while my ImageMosaic remains un-updated. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be causing this?
EDIT: I've already tried using the recalculate parameter. Furthermore, after closer examination, the shapefile of the imagemosaic has been updated and already shows the location and the reference to the new geotiff file. However, the newly added image does not show up in the WMS layer preview, even after disabling caching.
Even the GML that you can get using http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/opengeo/coveragestores/klicfinal/coverages/klicfinal/index/granules.xml?
shows the updated reference to the newly uploaded GeoTIFF.
