Taverna 2.5 SSL issue

[alaninmcr <al...@googlemail.com>]

Hello everybody

I have been trying to find a workaround for a user's problem with the 
NCBI localworkers no longer working. Switching from HTTP to HTTPS was 
not sufficient as Taverna 2.5 would then complain about the "prime size 
must be multiple of 64".

Having gone down a rabbit hole of Java 8, I found a workaround for Java 
7, which is to remove the lines in taverna.bat and taverna.vmoptions 
that set

com.sun.net.ssl.enableECC to false

Removing those lines makes the localworkers work (after the change to 
HTTPS).

Does anyone see a problem with recommending this as a solution to the user?
