Re: [google-appengine] Re: Task queue execution and Admin

This is a total guess, but what if you run your tasks from a subpath such as /tasks? So the url for that task would be /tasks/sendInvitation. Then secure the /tasks/* path. Perhaps another security constraint is defined that conflicts with your task. Robert On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 03:41
