To follow-up on my original query, after turning on full web server logging, one strange thing I see in the web server access log is that the actual request is a bit different from the link URL. Here is the link URL:

https://<galaxy-fqdn>/galaxy/library_admin/browse_libraries?sort=name&f-description=All&f-name=All&f-deleted=False&operation=browse&id=7e3ef68f693c8dd0

And here is the get request that shows up in the web server log:

GET /galaxy/library_admin/browse_libraries?async=false&sort=name&page=1&show_item_checkboxes=false&operation=browse&id=7e3ef68f693c8dd0&f-deleted=False&f-name=All&f-description=All HTTP/1.1 - HTTP/1.1 302 Found

The 302 is a temporary redirect, but why? I don't think I am doing any redirects in the web server, other than http to https and I even disabled this to no effect. The other question in my mind is why the logged URL is different from the actual link URL. Is this a web server thing? If so I will crawl back into my hole….
