Hi all,
I'm trying to make a search of Swiss-Prot records on ExPASy with
sprot_search_ful and sprot_search_de , But appears like the ExPASy
server has been moved, I tried to read the help from the modules and all
that I can find is that the cgi url is
"http://www.expasy.ch/cgi-bin/sprot-search-ful" or
"http://www.expasy.ch/cgi-bin/sprot-search-de". I'm trying to access in
that URLs with my web browser but appears a error message indicating
that the site to search is www.uniprot.org. Maybe the functions won't
work anymore because the server has been moved?
Or am I doing something bad?
These are the steps to reproduce the error.
>>> handle=ExPASy.sprot_search_ful("Insulin")
>>> print handle.read()
As you can see the status code for http request was 302. BTW: The
release date of the new server was jan 9, 2013
Thank you.
