Re: [Gmod-ajax] Jbrowse Authentication

[Colin <col...@gm...>]

Is it specifically desirable to access data remotely hosted in CyVerse?

I know araport has written about this to some extent but I haven't
extensively looked into it

https://github.com/Arabidopsis-Information-Portal/CyverseRemoteTracks

It does say that it is made to allow anonymous which I assume means public
access, but it would be very cool if it could be extended to access private
files too
