Hello, Ian, The following text appears in the Custom Track help pages:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/customTrack.html#SHARE If a login and password is required to access data loaded through a URL (e.g., via https: protocol), this information can be included in the URL using the format protocol://user:[email protected]/somepath. Only Basic Authentication is supported for HTTP. Note that passwords included in URLs are not protected. If a password contains a non-alphanumeric character, such as @, the character must be replaced by the hexadecimal representation for that character. For example, in the password mypwd@wk, the @ character should be replaced by %40, resulting in the modified password mypwd%40wk. best wishes, --b0b kuhn ucsc genome bioinformatics group On 7/27/2011 6:10 AM, Ian Giddings wrote: > Hi, > > I'm looking at using custom tracks in the BAM Track Format. > > The parameters for BAM custom track definition lines include bigDataUrl= > > The example given is http://, but can https:// be used ? > > Regards. > > Ian. > > ************************************ > Ian Giddings, Ph.D. > > Scientific Computing Team > Information Technology > > Institute of Cancer Research > 15 Cotswold Road > Sutton, Surrey SM2 5NG > United Kingdom > > Tel: +44 (0) 20 8722 4293 > Mob: +44 (0) 7841 673412 > Email: [email protected] > Web: http://www.icr.ac.uk > > ************************************ > > > > > > > > > The Institute of Cancer Research: Royal Cancer Hospital, a charitable Company > Limited by Guarantee, Registered in England under Company No. 534147 with its > Registered Office at 123 Old Brompton Road, London SW7 3RP. > > This e-mail message is confidential and for use by the addressee only.
