Error description
When you attempt to send a request from an iWidget using the proxy the request is returned with either a 500 or 403 response code. Any proxy rules that you have defined to allow requests to flow are ignored. This will affect any custom widgets that you have written for the Dashboard that need to use the proxy to make requests against external servers with an absolute URL.
Local fix
