The problem seems to be in the lack of authentication by the request sent
by IGV. The galaxy instance is set to require a username and password with
"require_login = True" in universe_wsgi.ini, which means that when IGV
attempts to download the BAM file at
http://example.org/galaxy/display_application/e2132aef71b11dbf/igv_bam/local_default/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/data/galaxy_e2132aef71b11dbf.bam,
galaxy redirects to the login page.

I tried to remove the authentication requiements with the apache config (as
per
https://sites.google.com/site/princetonhtseq/tutorials/visualization-with-galaxy-and-igv/igv-as-a-display-application-in-galaxy
):

        <LocationMatch display_application/[a-zA-Z0-9]+/igv.*>
                RequestHeader set REMOTE_USER igv_disp...@example.org
                Satisfy Any
                Order deny,allow
                Allow from all
        </LocationMatch>

But it didn't help.
Commenting out the "require_login = True" line allows IGV to connect and
download the bam file without issue.

I've now got IGV crashing when trying to access this BAM file, but that's
probably a question for their list.
