cypher PROFILE via neo4j REST API - neo4j

Question

Can anyone tell me how to run a PROFILE'd query using teh neo4j REST API such as
PROFILE MATCH (n:LABEL) return n;
When I run this either in Java using the RestCypherQueryEngine or the even using a raw HTTP post directly I get
message: "Invalid input 'P': expected SingleStatement (line 1, column 1) "PROFILE MATCH (n:LABEL) return n;" ^"
exception: "SyntaxException"
I though I had read somewhere that this is possible not only through the server console

The old cypher endpoint (i.e /db/data/cypher) had a ?profile=true query parameter that adds profiling information to the result.
e.g.
curl -H accept:application/json -H content-type:application/json
-d'{"query":"MATCH (n) RETURN count(*)","params":{}}'
http://localhost:7474/d/data/cypher?profile=true
{
"columns" : [ "count(*)" ],
"data" : [ [ 0 ] ],

"args" : {
"returnItemNames" : [ "count(*)" ],
