Not sure if this will have an impact on Jalview. Probably not at all, if our requests do not have a referer domain of www.ebi.ac.uk.
Currently PDBFTSRestClient.PDB_SEARCH_ENDPOINT = "http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/search/pdb/select?";; I tried changing this to https and it worked fine. The site has a QuoVadis certificate which I guess should be trusted by all users. I suggest we change this constant to https for the next release. I'm less sure of how Jalview's (Jersey WebResource.accept()) code would handle a 302 redirect, if that is what happens on 1st October. Googling suggests some people have had trouble with this, even after setting a config property FOLLOW_REDIRECTS.

The web development team at EBI thus decided to make the www.ebi.ac.uk<http://www.ebi.ac.uk> HTTPS by default (e.g. redirect users from HTTP to HTTPS) from 1 October. This means that if you use the PDBe REST API from the www.ebi.ac.uk<http://www.ebi.ac.uk> domain, you will be automatically redirected from http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/api/ -> https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/api/ Another reminder about this change will be sent in 5 days.
