One of the most frequently requested features for App Engine has been HTTPS serving capabilities. Today we're excited to announce that App Engine now supports incoming HTTPS connections using a certificate valid for all appspot.com URLs. Here's how it works:
* app.yaml files now support a new handler attribute, called "secure": - url: /accounts/.* script: admin.py login: admin *secure: always* *This attribute can be either "always", "optional", or "never" (default), and determines the behavior of the handler for HTTP and HTTPS requests. See our documentation for more details: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/configuringanapp.html#Secure_URLs * HTTPS requests have their own bandwidth quotas, but also count toward your total bandwidth quotas. You can monitor these quotas on your dashboard. You may be wondering why we're only supporting appspot.com right now, and not arbitrary Google Apps domains. This has to do with fundamental limitations in the SSL protocol (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Https#Limitations). We're currently investigating workarounds for this using e.g. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication>SNI ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication), which provides a viable solution for newer browsers--we'll keep you posted! This functionality is already available starting with the 1.1.5 SDK. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
