Such a big url -- i keep using bit.ly to shorten (unfortunately bit.ly
API requires an API key to shorten and no nice way to embed that
securely!)

> But, I could not get it to work with the data API.  Which url does it need?

The first one on the list on the DataHub (i.e. the "base" URL), ie.
for the CPI dataset:
<http://datahub.io/dataset/us-consumer-price-index> and specifically
the CSV data file:
<http://datahub.io/dataset/us-consumer-price-index/resource/27e14656-ba2a-4b81-855d-0f167809d87d>
it would be:

<http://datahub.io/api/data/27e14656-ba2a-4b81-855d-0f167809d87d>

E.g.:

<http://reclinejs.com/app/?url=http://datahub.io/api/data/27e14656-ba2a-4b81-855d-0f167809d87d&backend=elasticsearch>

Hmm, I've seen something like this before and it's something weird in
the flot redraw. Perhaps you could file an issue with a screenshot if
you spot it again.
