Description
IGB appears hard-coded to request resources from BioViz.org and a few other sites.
This makes testing and developing IGB challenging for developers because they need access to the access_logs of BioViz to add new features or fix bugs. It also makes updating URLs difficult and may slow down startup if IGB tries to access resources that no longer exist.
Task is:
Identify all places in IGB code base with URLs. Document these:
- Report name of file with hard-coded URL (.java or other resources)
- Report URL
Request BioViz.org access_log from Dr. Loraine. Do not attach here to respect users' privacy.

Done with the above fix.
Ready for pull request.

I don't know how to test this issue.
In the changes that were made for this issue, we removed things that we were sure were not used.
So I am moving it to done.
Reassigning to Sneha because she did the work.
Tip:
IGB already is designed to request specific files from Quickload hosts (these are "baked in" and less likely to be optimizable). For example, IGB will try to retrieve a file called synonyms.txt from a Quickload site. This file is optional. If it not there, it's not considered an error.
