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<http://www.ebi.ac.uk>.

not absolutely sure what you mean there..


Currently

PDBFTSRestClient.PDB_SEARCH_ENDPOINT = 
"http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/search/pdb/select?";<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.

Yes. 2.10.2b1 could also be patched right now.


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.

I would expect this is a common issue (if it really is one) - perhaps check for 
updates to Jersey ?

Also, we need to test the other clients in Jalview - particularly for our own 
services. The plan is to apply redirects for 
www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk<http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk>, and ideally also 
*.jalview.org (we already have this for issues and wiki, and source (ish), but 
also need to do it for www.jalview.org<http://www.jalview.org>). Could you ask 
Fabio about getting a test jabaws service set up under https with a redirect on 
http to see what happens with the Jabaws client ?

Thanks,
Jim
