Hi Emma, I can only guess it's exactly what the message says, it can't read that URL. Possibilities: - you have a very, very old Chimera that can't read https. Must use Chimera 1.12 or newer. - that URL is not available (did you try entering it into a web browser)? They may only keep results for a certain amount of time. If you did the calculation many days ago, they may have removed the data from their website. To save the data longer-term after a web service calculation, you should open it in Chimera while the data is "fresh" and then save your Chimera session. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi there,
I am a complete beginner with Chimera so apologies for the very basic question. I am trying to open a Consurf output which is a .chimerax file. I have downloaded Chimera to do this and have not changed any default settings (running MacOS Monterey 12.2.1).
When I try to open the file (either by clicking “Open with Chimera” on the file or opening Chimera and going File > Open… and selecting the file), it comes up with the following error message:
Error reading consurf_1652376787.chimerax: Couldn't find url 'https://consurf.tau.ac.il/results/1652376787/msa_file_fasta.aln.clustalw': [Errno socket error] [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:661)
I have no idea what this means or how to fix it, so would appreciate any tips!
Thank you, Emma Belcher
