Is there an htsget compatible bam viewer?

I have seen that both IGV.js (not the java version) and this dalliance fork: https://github.com/wtsi-npg/dalliance Have preliminary or beta support for the htsget protocol.

Is there any viewer with mature support for htsget? For example both of those viewers require fiddling with the javascript console to load new datasets. And I think neither support the authentication that htsget servers tend to require.

htsget igv

Hi, htsget support in igv.js is stable, and it does support oAuth2 (the Authorization: Bearer <token> header. As you know igv.js is an embedabble component, it is not a stand-alone application. It is the responsibility of the containing application to manage the oAuth session itself.
