Molecule loading won't work with https

Hi,


I'm having difficulties in loading molecules to MarvinSpace applet using "molecule" parameter. Loading files with address like http:// is working whereas loading with https:// is not working at all. I'm also using MView/MSketch, their "mol" parameter seems to accept https.





Thanks in advance.

So sorry, this is definitely a bug. It will be corrected as soon as possible.





(Marvin 4.1 will be released very soon, the correction will be available then.)

Hi,





It seems that MSpace in Marvin 4.1 is still not loading molecules while there is https:// address in the "molecule" parameters.





I wonder if this will be fixed?

Hi,





to be honest I was sure it is already corrected, sorry about it.


To fix this I can create a new mspace.jar with no other change than this bugfix. With this jar file you can replace the existing one.


Is this quick and temporary solution ok for you?





Regarding applets: so far we was working on the application more intensively because there was more request for it. This is why the mspace applet is lack of parameters and examples.


If you are interested in mspace applet please let us know your needs so we can develop missing api functions, features or fix possible errors.


We are happy if you want to be involved in shaping MarvinSpace.





We intend to release MarvinSpace separately from Marvin in the future. This will let us more frequent releases, so you don't need to wait for so long for simple bugfixes any more.

Hi again,





We would be very happy to get that fixed mspace.jar, currently we really can't make use of mspace without the https support.





Now that you mention, I was also wondering if it is possbile to load multiple mol files (at least two) to applet via the applet molecule parameter? I know that it is possible to define multiple rows/columns and use cell0, cell1 etc. parameters but this way the molecules are shown in separate windows. Loading multiple molecules in the same frame by the applet parameters would help since there would be no need to convert everything in the same format, make multimol file etc. when visualising several molecules at the same time (docking results against the protein, for example).

Hi,


the mspace.jar can be dowloaded from the marvinspace page. The original mspace.jar should be replaced with it on the server.





It loads molecules from addresses with https and has two new applet parameters. First is "molecules" that can take several paths as its argument separated by a special separator sign.


The default separator is " ", but it can be changed with the other parameter, "molSeparator".





Example of usage is here.





It can only be used for applets, but a whole patch will be available as soon as we are ready with the technical issues of releasing separately from marvin.





Any other suggestions are very welcome!
