It is not as simple as just running up a server on port 80 and expecting
it to work. Google got a head of that little "backdoor".
That is why you have to use their specific HTTP classes to connect to
the outside world.
So unless MySQL is going to react to HTTP headers, you are not going to
get very far.

Hello, I managed to get an openbd cfml server running on gae using the
opencf summit 2011 app graciously provided by Mr Woodward while i wait
for the nightly build to be stable again.
I know that GAE doesnt support relational databases on its servers,
but i wonder if anyone has tried connecting to a [my]sql server across
the public internet? security issues aside (plaintext sql traffic is
probably not a good idea) i get the impression that it could work
provided the dbserver is listening on port 80 (it's the only port that
gae servers can access, but i doubt google is doing stateful
inspection to insure its http traffic)
I'd love to give it a shot, are there any jar mysql drivers that i
could try using?
thanks in advance
alessandro
