[Jmol-users] Cannot load PDBs from RCSB in Chrome -used to work

[Luciano A. <luc...@ya...>]

Hello,
I am having a strange problem. If visited from Chrome, my website cannot retrieve PDB files from the PDB (load command), neither from the server nor locally.
However... it does work in Firefox, it did work in Chrome at least 1-2 months ago, and last, I see other JSmol sites working ok in Chrome. The latter fact makes me think I did something dirty that saw the light now because of some update at the PDB or Chrome... (BTW, I have this problem with old and with the latest JSmol versions).
In the canvas HTML object in Chrome, the load command gives me:
Unrecognized file format for filehttp://www.rcsb.org/pdb/files/1xpb.pdb.gz  (example)
NetworkError: Failed to execute 'send' on 'XMLHttpRequest': Failed to load 'http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/files/1xpb.pdb.gz'



Any ideas what the problem could be, or what I should pay attention to?
Many many thanks!
Luciano
