I don't know one way or another -- that's why I thought I'd ask. I've heard 
that Google is encouraging the rapid migration away from SHA-1, but I could 
not find any announcements from Google about their own schedule for this -- 
especially for App Engine and if they will be supporting SHA-256.

I believe the user's browser is responsible for part of the transaction, 
but with their IPN solution 
<https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/products/instant-payment-notification/>
 
my app (on App Engine) first needs to request a transaction id, then after 
PayPal confirms the payment has cleared they will POST to my app's IPN 
endpoint. 

Maybe someone from Google could chime-in and let us know what's up?
