Extension not working on onprem TFS 2015 Update 2.1 #3

The extension just doesn't show as an available extension, even after a sucessfull installation.

I don't have onprem TFS 2015 to try this on. I know the extension is working for other TFS users though but can't help solve this.

I've tested that the widget is still working today on a VSTS site.

If you do manage to work out how to fix don't hesitate in submitting a patch.

The problem with this is that although you can install a dashboard widget extension into TFS 2015 Update 2.1 they aren't actually supported until TFS 2015 Update 3. So you'll have to update your TFS server to Update 3 to get this to work.

Sadly I just installed it on a TFS 2015 Update 3 and while it installed, the Widget does not show up as an available item to add to a dashboard. This idea is key to a new direction my team is going so I will (myself and another team member) will see if we can figure out why its not working.

We may have found the issue. Our TFS Server is throwing the following Exception Message: This request has been blocked because sensitive information could be disclosed to third party web sites when this is used in a GET request. To allow GET requests, set JsonRequestBehavior to AllowGet. (type InvalidOperationException)

We are going to try turning your 'GET' to a 'POST' which should hopefully fix the issue.

Right I would like to retract my prevent comments, I thought my TFS was running Update 3 but turns out it was actually running Update 2. I installed the TFS Update 3 this past weekend and re-installed your iFrame Add-On. Works!
