I'm trying connect to geoserver via rest protocol by gsconfig-py3 in python3 ,I get this error, but when I type "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest" in browser I can see these items moreover when I click on each of them I can see content of them:

for more information I'm using:

OS LMDE 3 X64 (Debian 9), GeoServer 2.15.0, Python version:3.7.3

Geoserver Configuration API

  • about/status
  • about/version

  • services/wcs/settings

But when I try connect to geoserver via gsconfig-py3 for example below code:

from geoserver.catalog import Catalog
cat = Catalog("http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest", username='admin', password='geoserver')
topp=cat.get_workspace("topp")

I get this error message:

    topp=cat.get_workspace("topp")

    description = self.get_xml(rest_url)

It appears that gsconfig-py3 is less relaxed about the format of the base URL than gsconfig was. If it doesn't end / it doesn't think to add one for you. so 

cat = Catalog("http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/", username='admin', password='geoserver')

does work.

I would raise an issue and a fix for this if I was you.

  • I'm trying to connect in the same way, with that line above, and if I do print(cat.__dict__) I get: {'_service_url': 'localhost:8080/geoserver/rest', '_session': <requests.sessions.Session object at 0x7f4658408ef0>, '_cache': {}, '_disable_ssl_validation': False, '_username': 'admin', '_version': None, '_password': 'geoserver'}. But if I try to do cat.get_workspace("my_workspace") I get a ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused. Do you know why this might happen?

  • To make it work I had to use the URL "geoserver:8080/geoserver/rest"
