NCBI will be transitioning to using HTTPS-only protocols

Thu, August 18, 2016 (All day)

NCBI, the host server for the PubMed database and others, will be transitioning to using HTTPS-only protocols on September 30, 2016. This change may impact software that uses NCBI APIs such as the E-utilities or NCBI software toolkits such as the C/C++ and SRA toolkits.

If you are using software that uses API calls to the NCBI servers, please visit http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/home/develop/https-guidance.shtml for more information and actions you can take to mitigate any issues with your software that may arise after the transition.
