          Description

          Validating trackhub URLs is currently done in the browser and involves making requests for their content and ensuring that it conforms to the UCSC trackhub specification. The UCSC CORS policy does not allow websites to make these requests, however. Implement a work-around.

          Possibilities:

          • See if the UCSC API can be used to validate a trackhub.
          • Implement a validation endpoint on our hub facade API.
          • Use a public CORS proxy to forward browser requests.
