Description: Presentation of a REST API for MapServer, including a live demo of managing a mapfile content with HTTP requests.
Abstract:

MapServer doesn't have any build-in administration tool. MapServer REST API has been designed to manipulate the mapfile from HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) based on RESTFul URL patterns. The presentation will show the basic concepts of the API, based on GeoServer REST API, and will make a live demo of managing a mapfile content with HTTP requests.
