News:uniprot.org is moving from HTTP to HTTPS

Question

[Elisabeth Gasteiger]

UniProt is moving web pages and services from HTTP to HTTPS:

We will support separate HTTP and HTTPS services until release 2018_06 (June 20, 2018). From this date, the HTTP traffic will be automatically redirected to HTTPS. We intend to maintain these redirects indefinitely, but it is to your advantage to update your applications to use HTTPS as soon as possible, both for performance and security reasons.

Please refer to this announcement: https://www.uniprot.org/help/https_change

This is now effective, see https://www.uniprot.org/news/2018/06/20/release (the above URL no longer works since the announcement moved from "forthcoming changes" to "news"). Please make sure you update your code, or if you are using some third-party software affected by this redirection, contact the software provider about it.
