USDA moves all websites to HTTP Secure

January 25, 2017. The National Water and Climate Center (NWCC) is part of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Over the last several weeks, all USDA websites (including the NWCC website) have moved from Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) for internet data transfer. The move to HTTPS ensures that all communications between the user’s browser and USDA websites are encrypted and secure. Web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome now display a padlock icon in the address bar to visually indicate an HTTPS connection.

If users are experiencing problems with bookmarks, saved URLs, web service calls, or other functions, it may be related to the change from HTTP to HTTPS. If there’s a reference or bookmark to http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov, try changing it to https://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov. If problems continue, please contact the ServiceNow help desk for further assistance.
