[ensembl-dev] REST server 3.0 vep endopoint works only with human specie

[mag]

Hi Paolo,

Thank you for reporting this and apologies for the error.

We were wrongly using some human-specific configuration for all species, 
this has now been fixed on the live server.

If you are using POST requests for VEP, please be aware that only human 
uses the vep cache.
For other species, we are still using direct database connection, which 
will result in lower performance.

If you are interested in getting faster POST support for other species, 
please contact us.


Regards,
Magali
