          Description

          IGB has a REST API that allows users to control the application. We are using this to enable users to load data from external servers by clicking links that then get forwarded to a JavaScript "bridge" program running on BioViz.org.

          For example, here is a link from the BAR Web site. Note that it refers to a Web page on BioViz that contains JavaScript code that then tries to open a link on localhost, where IGB is running. IGB contains a build-in Web server that listens on a port for requests.

          http://bioviz.org/bar.html?version=Arabidopsis_thaliana_TAIR10&feature_url_0=http://s3.amazonaws.com/iplant-cdn/iplant/home/araport/rnaseq_bam/aerial/ERR274310/accepted_hits.bam&sym_name_0=accepted_hits.bam&sym_method_0=http://s3.amazonaws.com/iplant-cdn/iplant/home/araport/rnaseq_bam/aerial/ERR274310/accepted_hits.bam&query_url=http://s3.amazonaws.com/iplant-cdn/iplant/home/araport/rnaseq_bam/aerial/ERR274310/accepted_hits.bam&server_url=bar

          Note that the "sym_name" parameter is supposed to specify track label.

          However, it does not appear to be working correctly.

          For example,

          http://bioviz.org/bar.html?version=Arabidopsis_thaliana_TAIR10&feature_url_0=http://s3.amazonaws.com/iplant-cdn/iplant/home/araport/rnaseq_bam/aerial/ERR274310/accepted_hits.bam&sym_name_0=FOOBARBAZ&sym_method_0=http://s3.amazonaws.com/iplant-cdn/iplant/home/araport/rnaseq_bam/aerial/ERR274310/accepted_hits.bam&query_url=http://s3.amazonaws.com/iplant-cdn/iplant/home/araport/rnaseq_bam/aerial/ERR274310/accepted_hits.bam&server_url=bar

          Should result in a new track appearing in IGB with FOOBARBAZ as the track label.

          This should be fixed so that IGB respects the given parameters.
