Dear all

Starting May 10 2021, we will be enforcing https for all access to the
rcsb.org frontend or to any of RCSB's APIs.

The HTTPS protocol has been supported for a few years, but with this change
all users will be redirected to HTTPS so that secure communication is
always guaranteed.

Please note that all APIs (
https://www.rcsb.org/docs/programmatic-access/web-services-overview) will
also enforce use of HTTPS. Programmatic users are encouraged to switch to
HTTPS as soon as possible. Not all HTTP clients will necessarily follow
redirects automatically.

Please also note that the "HTTP Strict Transport Security" headers [
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security] will also be
used, starting May 10 2021.

Best wishes

Jose
