Martin,
i'm a little confused here, i think you are mixing the SDK with the
production GAE. Yes, that error shows when deploying, but it's in reference
to the fact that for the code upload to GAE you don't have SSL, nothing to
do with ssl on GAE. For what it's worth, https is available on appspot.com
domains.
lots have changed since i started using web2py with GAE, and i'm slow to
adjust - i don't know if it yet is possible to view tickets in the "web2py
way" on GAE yet or not, but i find that the GAE logs are just as good as the
ticket system. when running the development server i read the console
output, when in production i login to the GAE console and click on "logs".
stack traces are saved there just like in tickets - though the GAE logs
leave it as an exercise for the coder to open their source files and read
the lines referred to in the traceback.
if you want SSL for the deployment process, follow the link the google
conveniently provides in the error message. i have not done the install on
windows so i can't speak to how easy/hard that is.
