Hello, we want to generate a thumbnail for our live stream. We are using WOWZA streaming engine free trial. While giving the URL - http://[wowza-ip-address]:8086/thumbnail?application=live&streamname=test&size=240x240&format=jpeg, we are getting as in the image.

We have added

```auto
	
<HTTPProvider>
<BaseClass>com.wowza.wms.transcoder.thumbnailer.HTTPProviderGenerateThumbnail</BaseClass>
	<RequestFilters>thumbnail*</RequestFilters>
	<AuthenticationMethod>none</AuthenticationMethod>
</HTTPProvider> 

in VHost.xml.

Can you please point us in the right direction.

```
