The UCSC site and supported mirrors display short session links similar to the following:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/s/YourUserName/YourSessionName
Previously, longer links were used:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?hgS_doOtherUser=submit&hgS_otherUserName=YourUserName&hgS_otherUserSessionName=YourSessionName
System administrators of mirrors can introduce Apache redirects from the shorter links
that will redirect to the longer links and enable the links to display for new sessions by
setting hgSession.shortLink=on
in the mirror's configuration files. Both links
