Amazon RDS CA certificate URL changing

Change effective on 13 March 2018

This change only impacts a subset of customers who use Amazon’s RDS services. The URL for fetching the Amazon RDS CA certificate is being changed to HTTPS-only by Amazon on March 28, 2018. Most customers using this will have fetched it once and added the certificate to their application’s code base. Some customers may be fetching this on-demand though. Any hard-coded references to this URL should be updated to use HTTPS rather than an HTTP URL. The URL in question is:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/rds-downloads/rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem
