 HTTP PUT messages are used to modify flows. The basic syntax is as follows:
 
- `curl -X [PUT|DELETE] -d '{"config-params"}' http://localhost:8000/rest/parameter-to-change/`
+ `curl -X PUT -d '{"config-params"}' http://localhost:8000/rest/parameter-to-change/`
 
-where `config-params` is in JSON format and the options based on `dpctl` parameters.  
+where `config-params` is in JSON format and the options based on `dpctl` parameters. For example, to create a flow named "testflow" which redirects pings from address 10.18.1.1 to port 0/29 on switch of DPID 00:00:00:10:10:25:32:35:  
+{{{
+bsn@kvm-big:~$ curl -X PUT -d '{"name":"testflow","active":"True","src-ip":"10.18.1.1","ether-type":"2048",
+"switch":"00:00:00:10:10:25:32:35","actions":"output=29"}' http://localhost:8000/rest/flow-entry/ <hit enter>
+savedbsn@kvm-big:~$ 
+}}}
+And sure enough, if you check back with the CLI:
+{{{
+kvm-big> sh run
+ ...
 
+!
+switch 00:00:00:10:10:25:32:35
+  flow-entry testflow
+    active True
+    ether-type 2048
+    src-ip 10.18.1.1
+    actions output=29
+!
+
+...
+}}}
+Deleting the flow utilizes the DELETE message:
+
+ `curl -X http://localhost:8000/rest/parameter-to-delete/`  
+
+Removing our flow above, therefore, requires this command:
+{{{
+bsn@kvm-big:~$ curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8000/rest/flow-entry/testflow/  <hit enter>
+deletedbsn@kvm-big:~$ 
+}}}

 ^1 Last time I played with IOS I remember you can do `run <full command>` in order to run out-of-context commands. But, I'm not a CCNA so I might be lying.^
