IFrameInclude module

I'm trying to use the IFrameInclude module to read and display values from a text file. I keep getting an issue where the file can not be found. The file is 777 for permissions and is located in /opt/splunk/etc/apps/appname/. Here is what I'm using for the setup.

module name="IFrameInclude"
layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1"
param name="src">server_info.txt param name="check_exists">False param name="height">25</param
/module

Its going to look for the text file here...
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/$APPNAME/appserver/static
But IFrameInclude module src parameter is expecting a URL to a remote source.
Check http://yoursplunkserver:8000/en-US/modules#Splunk.Module.IFrameInclude

This is the URL to a remote resource to be displayed in the module. Supports remote URI's (ie., http://foobar.com/hello), local app static files (ie., hello.html found in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/$APPNAME/appserver/static) and relative locations (ie., /manager).

You might was to use the ServerSideInclude module and then an HTML file you use as a wrapper.
