'View in Jalview' link for an MSA view

[foreveremain]

It would be really useful to have a 'launch in Jalview' view for msa-viewer, that passed URLs to the jalview launch service that allowed someone to open the alignmment + annotation shown in an MSA view as a Jalview session:
Service URL: http://www.jalview.org/services/launchApp
Available servlet parameters (please URLEncode):
open=
jvm-max-heap=heap size in M or G
features maps to '-features'
treeFile maps to '-tree'
tree maps to '-tree'
annotations maps to '-annotations'
colour maps to '-colour'

The current solution just saves the input url and then sends it to Jalview.
@foreveremain do you still plan to build a POST API to receive the sequence (and more) data? This would be a more elegant solution.

colour maps to '-colour'

transferred.

features maps to '-features'
annotations maps to '-annotations'

depends on #63

treeFile maps to '-tree'
tree maps to '-tree'

depends on #3

so is there a test build for this issue or should I look at snipe ?

You could try http://workmen.biojs.net/demo/biojs-vis-msa/fer1 (this is Jalview's default file).

Here is the relevant code piece.

Wow. So you parse the html page for the #seqData div.
(Is it intended that the Jalview version is still "Test"?).
