Recently my ability to download PTFs and orders from the internet has stopped

They all have the same issue. I have checked certs and they all look ok.
I get a GIM44336S error with this message and java debug turned on

Anyone point me in the right direction. Does this mean different versions of GIMJVCLT? 325 / 397 ? Have IBM upgraded GIMJVCLT on their server?
Thanks Dave
What is the best course of action?
Copy the whole /classes from another z/OS ? Is it possible to obtain a new
/classes directory via z/SHOP ?
I might have a dig thru our monthly backups and restore the ZFS file from when
I know it worked last and then copy the Classes. Probably safest way ?
Since you don't know how the file got screwed up, you don't know what
other files/directories might also be in trouble. Therefore, the safest
course of action in my opinion is to restore to a known backup.
