APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

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.
