Hi Rosalinda,

Yes, the Genome Browser does support adding custom tracks using https:

"If a login and password is required to access data loaded through a 
URL, this information can be included in the URL using the format 
/protocol://user:[email protected]/somepath/. Only Basic 
Authentication is supported for HTTP. Note that passwords included in 
URLs are *not* protected. If a password contains a non-alphanumeric 
character, such as @, the character must be replaced by the hexidecimal 
representation for that character. For example, in the password 
/mypwd@wk/, the @ character should be replaced by %40, resulting in the 
modified password /mypwd%40wk/." (Taken from 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgCustom, scroll down to "Loading Custom 
Tracks").

Please contact us again at [email protected] if you have any further 
questions.

Best,
Luvina
