This implementation is quite similar to the page Bram referred to, but using Atom syndication links instead of proprietary links for HATEOAS. Regarding PUT/POST for create/update; PUT requests should be idempotent in contrast to POST requests. So a POST to /rest/index/[indexname] could potentially create a new index, a PUT can only update an existing entry (if it exists).
