Let's try an invalid `CompareAndSwap` command first. Let's try some invalid `CompareAndSwap` commands first.
We can provide the `prevValue` parameter to the set command to make it a `CompareAndSwap` command.
Trying to set this existing key with `prevExist=false` fails as expected:
```sh
curl -L http://127.0.0.1:4001/v2/keys/foo?prevExist=false -XPUT -d value=three

The error code explains the problem:

Now lets provide a `prevValue` parameter:
```sh ```sh
curl -L http://127.0.0.1:4001/v2/keys/foo?prevValue=two -XPUT -d value=three curl -L http://127.0.0.1:4001/v2/keys/foo?prevValue=two -XPUT -d value=three
