Yes, the MPC change the way they do the redirection and this no more work with Skychart.

The quick solution is to change the URL in Setup/Internet/Orbital Elements.
In the comet list replace http: by https:
Change:
http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/MPCORB/CometEls.txt
by:

The MPC http: redirection is really broken with a wrong Location: in the 302 response header.

This is fixed by forcing https: at first:
https://github.com/pchev/skychart/commit/5284160cce0fcb37cea1389887f580804e1460a3

BTW I also replace all the other http: URL with https: when available:
