Ok, so a bit of a follow up. I still cannot successfully create a datastore / layer using the REST interface. Now I'm usuing Cygwin.
This command fails complaining 'No datastore gv, roads' Isn't this suppose to create the datastore? $ curl -u admin:ne1410s! -XPUT -H "Content-type: application/zip" --data-binary @states.zip "http://10.10.0.20:8001/geoserver/rest/workspaces/gv/datastores/roads/states.shp"; Ok, fine, I switch the command to upload the shapefile to an existing datastore: $ curl -u admin:ne1410s! -XPUT -H "Content-type: application/zip" --data-binary @states.zip "http://10.10.0.20:8001/geoserver/rest/workspaces/gv/localpostgis/states.shp"; Failure: Could not determine format. Try setting the Content-type header. The zip file is just a .shp, .dbf, .prj, .shx, .qix, and a .fix file all with the same name and it looks to me like I did specify the Content type.
