[Utilities-announce] API Guidance for HTTPS transition on 9/30/2016

[utilities-announce at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Dear Colleagues,


As we announced on June 22, 2016, NCBI will be transitioning to using HTTPS-only protocols on September 30, 2016. This change may affect any software that uses NCBI APIs such as the E-utilities or NCBI software toolkits such as the C/C++ and SRA toolkits.


Recently we published a page that describes these changes and offers suggested actions you can take to miitgate any problems with your software that may arise. It also lists several test servers that you can use to check the performance of your current API calls.

This page is also linked from the NCBI Develop page (a direct link from the NCBI home page) and the NCBI API page:

Please review these documents and plan to take action soon. If you have questions, please write to info at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
