I've had clarification that http://www.ebi.ac.uk will redirect to https from

OK.

I have tested a similar redirect in Jalview and confirmed that these will cease 
to work:

- fetch of Uniprot, PDB or EMBL accessions

- PDB free text search

I see from your tests that HTTP 302 is not handled. much sadness.
Do we need to drop everything and put out a fix build and communications to 
users to install it?
yes - but by drop everything, I guess you mean:

1. Port the fix to 2.10.2b1 branch and bump its version to 2.10.2b2.

--> one amendment here: the patch should also make all these endpoints 
configurable via .jalview_properties. Some already are IIRC.

2. Post a jalview news article telling *everyone* who fetches sequences, 
annotation or 3D structures in Jalview that they will need to upgrade to the 
latest patch release.

3. pick everything up, keep calm and carry on....
