[Gmod-ajax] pulling tracks off the local machine

[Michael L. <mfl...@fh...>]

Hi,

Just heard about JBrowse. Love the interactivity.

I would like to serve data from R, running on the local machine, to JBrowse.
X:Map can already do this using the xmapbridge package. Basically, they use
JSONP to communicate with a Java web server that interacts via the file
system with R. I'd like to do something similar with JBrowse. I understand
the security concerns, but perhaps the local host can be trusted? The user
could enter URLs into JBrowse, and the data would be retrieved from a web
server embedded in R.

It would be great if JBrowse could support this.

Thanks,
Michael
