I wanted to share my recent partial success with naked domains... with the new cloud console "Custom Domains" you can map your naked non-SSL domain to your app. After doing that... I detect the naked domain as part of my 'require SSL' logic in the App and redirect to https://www.mydomain.com. So now if someone types "mydomain.com" or "mydomain.com/anypath" in their browser it redirects to "https://www.mydomain.com/anypath";. So the cloud console helps plug a hole left by the Google Apps alias domains. The only thing I can't do now is map my SSL naked domain to my app but that is likely solvable with a wildcard SSL certificate (that I'm too cheap to pay for).
