TCGA.intent enables you to download files from the open-access HTTP directory of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) from within the browser—without using or maintaining a proxy server. TCGA.intent uses Web Intents, a service discovery and light-weight RPC mechanism for Web apps.
All you have to do to use TCGA.intent in your Web app is to create an Intent that uses the following action–type combination: http://mathbiol.org/intents/tcga/download [text/uri-list]
