How do I modify a datastream using REST?  I dug into it today, and I don't have 
a grip on as I thought I did.  I searched around and found plenty of 
documentation ON the functionality in FC, but not much on exactly how to use 
it.  Currently I have XML files that need to be entered into Fedora to update 
EXISTING objects.  Would I convert the XML -> FOXML and the call that file via 
a curl command to modify it?  I think that's it, but am unsure of exactly how 
to do this.  I found Matt's documentation on Mediashelf's site, and it lists 
this:

curl -i -H "Content-type: text/xml" -XPUT 
"http://localhost:8080/fedora/objects/test:02/datastreams/DS1?dsLabel=hello&altIDs=3333";
 --data-binary @build.xml -u fedoraAdmin:fedoraAdmin

So I'm assuming I'd plug in my pid, but after that I get lost.  I know I want 
to use 'modifyObject' somewhere, but my attempts haven't worked.  After that, 
do I call the XML file (as he's done here with build.xml) for it to update 
against, and again, XML or FOXML for that?

Thanks for any advice or docs.
