Problem loading remotely located bed file into web-based IGV

[sjhosui]

• Version of the web browser and OS: Chrome version 54.0.2840.59
• Environment where the error occurred (Vagrant VM and site conf mode or AWS instance): test.stemcellcommons.org

Steps to reproduce

Please list all the actions and the input data used:

1. Navigate to https://test.stemcellcommons.org/data_sets/4d7f9959-80bc-4927-b918-69c16fd6a43c
2. Select several bed files (incl. http://stemcellcommons.org/sites/default/files/chipseq/11610/CDX2%20ChIP-seq%20in%20differentiated%20cells%20+%20Caco2%20cell%20input%20DNA.bed)
3. Select the "Visualize" tab
4. Select "Current Selection"
5. Select "Homo sapiens (hg19)" for the species
6. Click the "Web-based IGV" button

Observed behavior

Produces error stating that files cannot be accessed.

Expected behavior

• Should display the bed files in Web-based IGV. These files are accessible via the browser and can be viewed in standalone IGV

See: #1435 and #1484

IGV.js cannot visualize files that are served over HTTP

Closing as a duplicate. Trying to view HTTP data when the site is running HTTPS is the primary case in #1435.
