Using QuickBase API from within iFrames

Has anyone else tried using the QuickBase API from within a page embedded in a form using the new "Embed as iframe in forms" option on URL fields? I have a code page that works to upload a file when I access it directly. But when it's embedded, none of my API calls work?

I believe this is being caused because the URL is being re-written when it's embedded as an iFrame: instead of [mydomain].quickbase.com is located in [mydomain].ui.quickbase.com.

Anyone have ideas on how to get around this?

    Hey all. I haven't found a real solution to this problem but I happened upon an accidental fix. By adding an extra "/" after the domain name, the url does not get written and the API calls work as expected.

    So this does not work: http://[mydomain].quickbase.com/db/..." 

    But this does: http://[mydomain].quickbase.com//db/..."
