I haven't bothered to look at this specific situation but this a problem with many sites
and automated interaction. NCBI has a nice eutils interface that has remained stable
for a while, I'd been trying to get more groups to offer a web interface designed for 
automated interactions. FWIW,

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25500/


Do you have automated access to this library for example, 

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/index.shtml

they also have their own viwer, for example, 

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/CN3D/cn3d.shtml

but pymol seems a bit more extensive.
