Error when connecting to HTTPS GBIF API

[MattBlissett]

Large datasets gave SSL errors since Saturday when connecting to https://api.gbif.org/ for georeferencing.

I changed the configuration to use HTTP only, and the problem disappeared. I suspect it's related to LetsEncrypt updating their intermediate trust certificates, as the certificate on api.gbif.org was renewed on Saturday, but I have not investigated further.

Standalone interpretation/processing was not affected, and curl and so on is fine.

I think this is likely to be due to the Java version on the cluster nodes.
