[mapguide-users] mapguide-rest

[Rémy Gourrat]

Thanks Jackie,

Sorry i come back on this post very later. For memory, I am on mapguide 2.5.2.

First : after log in administrator, i can see resources tree via http://localhost/mapguide/rest/library/list.html, but each time i want to see resource content I have this error "Unhandled Exception Undefined variable: resIdStr at C:\Program Files\OSGeo\MapGuide\Web\www\rest\app\controller\resourceservicecontroller.php:571"

Second : I can browse the doc with http://localhost/mapguide/rest/doc/index.html, i can use API that doesn't ask authentication, but when i want try some api that ask for authentication, i have an infinite loop displaying textbox authentication with Anonymous or Administrator (I'm ok with my Administrator password...)

is there a link between the first and second point ?

Third Point : I don't want just only download an existent file but generate a shape file, on fly, from a MapGuide feature source like Oracle, PostGRe, SQLLite, in fact any feature source used by maguide...

But I don’t see it in doc mapguide-rest, is it true ?

Thanks for your answered

Rémy

The general URL pattern is:

GET http://localhost/mapguide/rest/library/<transcoded path
to>.FeatureSource/data/<your file name>

On a side-note, I would recommend you to have a look at the repository through its HTML representation:

http://localhost/mapguide/rest/library/list.html

The HTML representation of the repository really maps out all the possible URLs you can access for any particular resource. It's a simple way to "explore" what the mapguide-rest API offers, as it's all there as links.
Failing that, there's also an interactive swagger API runner at:

http://localhost/mapguide/rest/doc/index.html

This lists all the APIs available with auto-generated forms for you to test the various APIs.

Now back to the topic at hand, a SHP file throws a spanner in the works because it is not one physical file. It has various components (.shx, .dbf, and a whole bunch of other files) that you also have to download and mapguide-rest does not provide any SHP-specific access path where you can download the whole SHP "file", so your application has to be aware of a SHP feature source and have some custom code that downloads all the components of the SHP "file" and serve out a zip file of all the component parts.
