Is this service available in 3.0b Labs version?

htdump -post="{ \"thumbnailName\" : \"webpreview\"}" "http://admin:admin@127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/service/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/34042d8b-d127-43ac-8d76-b833493e0c96/content/thumbnails"

org.alfresco.scripts.ScriptException: Failed to execute script '\/org\/alfresco\/repository\/thumbnail\/thumbnails.post.js (in classpath store file:\/opt\/alfresco\/tomcat\/webapps\/alfresco\/WEB-INF\/classes\/alfresco\/templates\/webscripts)': ReferenceError: \"json\" is not defined.

My request with new content type (Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8😞
