Guys - thank you. It's working great. I'm actually impressed at how I can us the IP i get from google.com or appspot.com and as long as I provide the host my POST get's directed to my app engine app.
I will post more about this in my blog: http://nimbits.blogspot.com/ I now have an Arduino Microcontroller board with an Ethernet shield that can post it's data directly to my Nimbits Data Logging Service on App Engine : http://www.nimbits.com The Arduino C code is simply a basic web client (using ethernet.h) that does: client.println("GET /service/currentvalue? point=test&email=bsaut...@gmail.com&format=json HTTP/1.1"); client.println("Host:nimbits1.appspot.com"); client.println("Accept-Language:en-us,en;q=0.5"); client.println("Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate"); client.println("Connection:close"); client.println("Cache-Control:max-age=0"); client.println(); Worth mentioning that I had trouble with http keep alives - i had to add a connection close header. Not sure why.
