What is the best method to block Google App Engine access to a particular
domain? I'm seeing fingerprints of attempted abuse, and am decidedly not
inclined to chase and flag them one by one, moreover, I categorically don't
trust Google App Engine in any non-Google hands. So I'm looking for a sim
Hi Álvaro,
As Barry says, you can do this by checking the user-agent; while App Engine
apps may add to the user-agent header, they cannot remove their own App ID
from it.
Can you elaborate on why you want to do this, though? We take apps that
violate our TOS seriously, and if you're speaking abou
Hi Nick - and by extension, Barry as well (unfortunately I appear to have
sent my reply directly to him - my apologies as I didn't CC myself so I
can't share what exactly I wrote!)
First of all, rest assured that my concerns are not necessarily with Google
App Engine, but rather the species of
Can someone translate this into english?

Friendly reminder: "English" is capitalized. :-)

Wow. That is a substantial block of text. Are you trying to say you
are mad because some App Engine app is proxying your site?

Good gravy! Your point is so veiled in flowery metaphor that I still haven't
understood what the core issue is. I thought Robert had it for a second
there, but no.
Now my theories are that you're either a turing-test bot, or a Batman
villain. Is Google sponsoring an exhibit at the Gotham Muse
No Robert: the point is to preclude Google from perpetrating evil, even when
its committed against its own intent. Incidentally, anger is a wasted
emotion in security issues. It's almost as bad as overlooking basic security
while commenting on the length of messages.
Kudos to Brandon for pointi
I think the phrase "search engine related API development frameworks"
might be the key to the misunderstanding here-- App Engine and Google
Search are simply products of the same company. It's like calling
Microsoft Windows a "search related operating system" simply because
Microsoft also makes Bin
Hi Álvaro,
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that you operate a
service that provides an API, and that you're seeing abuse of that API from
an app that runs on App Engine.
First of all, I'd like to reiterate that App Engine has clear policies on
acceptable use. If the app
Hi Nick, that's excellent advice, and a good analysis from the quantitative
end of things. The problem is that abuse does not manifest itself in a
statistically more or less uniform manner, so as to allow applying risk
factoring as you suggest it.
It's an issue that goes far beyond Google App E
Ross, thanks for your clarification on my crude classification but the key
aspect for me is that Google App Engine operates from within Google's *address
space*. So, what a Google App Engine powered service *does* as intended,
i.e. its *functional* typology is much less important (or defining) t

Hi Álvaro Degives-Más
I also use ZBblock and everything from the google app engine except
pubsubhubbub and s~feedly-social.
I'd actually like to know whether there is some way to look up a

Hello Nick,
A proxy site has scrapped my site and replaced my site in Google searches.
Here is the link fastproxyserv.appspot.com/www.psd2htmlpros.com
As a result, my rankings have dropped 900 spots.
What can I do about this?

In my case, I have both; the API isn't one particularly apt for user
authentication (i.e. I'm not looking at limiting users to a somehow
pre-accredited group) but more for *validation*, in a more or less trivial
sense. The thing is, as I'm essentially seeing that "trivial" doesn't exist,
