Bitly "Shorten URL" feature doesn't work

[shrumit]

Just noticed this little bug:

[ecerami]

I just tried to verify this via URL: http://www.cbioportal.org/index.do?cancer_study_list=luad_tcga&cancer_study_id=luad_tcga&genetic_profile_ids_PROFILE_MUTATION_EXTENDED=luad_tcga_mutations&genetic_profile_ids_PROFILE_COPY_NUMBER_ALTERATION=luad_tcga_gistic&Z_SCORE_THRESHOLD=2.0&data_priority=0&case_set_id=luad_tcga_cnaseq&case_ids=&patient_case_select=sample&gene_set_choice=user-defined-list&gene_list=EGFR&clinical_param_selection=null&tab_index=tab_visualize&Action=Submit&show_samples=false&

and, the bit.ly link works, e.g. I get: http://bit.ly/29ntwL1

Can you please check again? May have been a small service interruption.

It still doesn't work for me when I query "BRCA1" and select all studies:

Perhaps the problem is that the URL is so large.

It's broken for me too.

FWIW the error is not unknown and is in fact 500 "INVALID_URI."

For some reason I can't seem to find the source script (cgx_query.js) in my chrome dev tools on @ecerami 's working example to see what a correct URL looks like.

I also haven't found anything on the web discussing maximum URL length for bitly links.

Finally, https://github.com/cBioPortal/cbioportal/blob/39afb082f0f6ff5e09c3e3bb4945b2db4d2cd182/portal/src/main/webapp/js/src/cgx_jquery.js#L173

should not call .append but rather .val or .html, whatever the function is that overwrites the value instead of appending to it.

I'd make a PR but it seems like the team prefers more substantial fixes?
