Hi there,

we've noticed that when clicking on the send to galaxy button the posted form data doesn't include the right URL anymore. This seems to have started yesterday and looks like a minor issue with the form encoding. What I see in chrome is this

tool_id=ucsc_table_direct1&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fgenome.ucsc.edu%2Fcgi-bin%2FhgTables&hguid=1587314780_KBXslDDpain7o5EBARpPf3nJ1NbE&db=hg38&org=Human&hgta_table=knownGene&hgta_track=knownGene&hgta_regionType=range&hgta_outputType=bed&position=chr2%3A25%2C160%2C915-25%2C168%2C903&hgsid=1708063580_QD5ONXCqxp8H5TlaKJtczZ2cy5pQ&boolshad.hgta_printCustomTrackHeaders=0&hgta_ctName=tb_knownGene&hgta_ctDesc=table+browser+query+on+knownGene&hgta_ctVis=pack&hgta_ctUrl=&fbQual=whole&fbUpBases=200&fbExonBases=0&fbIntronBases=0&fbDownBases=200&hgta_doGetBed=get+BED&hgta_doGalaxyQuery=Send+query+to+Galaxy

This is then being parsed out as separate form parameters where `URL` is just https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables and so that fails.

I think the URL should probably be something like this instead (not sure if all of the parameter are part of the data access url, but it seems to work with a manual test):

tool_id=ucsc_table_direct1&URL=https%3A%2F%2Fgenome.ucsc.edu%2Fcgi-bin%2FhgTables%3Fhguid%3D1587314780_KBXslDDpain7o5EBARpPf3nJ1NbE%26db%3Dhg38%26org%3DHuman%26hgta_table%3DknownGene%26hgta_track%3DknownGene%26hgta_regionType%3Drange%26hgta_outputType%3Dbed%26position%3Dchr2%3A25%2C160%2C915-25%2C168%2C903%26hgsid%3D1708063580_QD5ONXCqxp8H5TlaKJtczZ2cy5pQ%26boolshad.hgta_printCustomTrackHeaders%3D0%26hgta_ctName%3Dtb_knownGene%26hgta_ctDesc%3Dtable%2Bbrowser%2Bquery%2Bon%2BknownGene%26hgta_ctVis%3Dpack%26hgta_ctUrl%3D%26fbQual%3Dwhole%26fbUpBases%3D200%26fbExonBases%3D0%26fbIntronBases%3D0%26fbDownBases%3D200%26hgta_doGetBed%3Dget%2BBED%26hgta_doGalaxyQuery%3DSend%2Bquery%2Bto%2BGalaxy

Please let me know if you need further details,
