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.
