extensionDownloader: Fix check for updates with several extensions

When having several extensions installed checking for updates fails.
This is because we are using GET and query params and since we are
sending all the metadata of the extension the server returns 502
when the URL is too long. This error code is ignored safely.

It is only needed to send the version of the extension to check if it
has updates.
