Create a Thing through the REST API with PUT method

I am trying to create a Thing with some properties set of a specific ThingTemplate via the REST API (as a call integrated with a service bus). I did not find specifics about how to make that call and my tries with the REST API failed - I could authenticate and make other calls through. The Wiki states that Thing entities can be created via a PUT method call.

Thanks!
