In terms of https enforcement, it is done through the standard web application descriptor in Java (web.xml). Appengine automatically redirects from http to https when an secured url is accessed through http. Since a cron job url is a relative url and the cron job winds up being called through http, the cron job request gets redirected to https. The app is not the one sending 302, I believe appengine doesn't allow a job to do a redirect and returns the 302 error. That's why I think it would be of value to allow cron job to be configured to use https rather than http.
