HI Your right, I missed that specific case /form
Interesting, google are trapping that specific case before it even gets to your instance. It does seem somewhat arbitrary to intercept /form but /form/ gets through I am not sure those two are really different. (In fact I generally allow both paths to resolve to the same entity through traversal. ) I actually don't use /form for anything, all of my urls asentity traversal oriented which means the url generally starts with a an entity. (though in a cms you could call any top level container or entity anything you want, which could effectively hide a path, if a user accidentally called something "form") I did test but actually I realize now I typed /form/ not /form so I missed the specific issue you raised, sorry. Probably worth an new issue, asking for accurate documentation of the url root paths that will not be passed through to appengine apps.
