Hi Stephen, I couldn't see the promotion being applied after enabling billing. Anyway, let's see if release 1.7.0 is any different, they say you can set header for static contents now (maybe you can set the encoding type now). As far as I understand static content/blobs are the same for the purp

I signed up for a GCS account relatively recently, and I certainly got the free quota (https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/pricingandterms) applied. It's easy to miss though - to see whether it's active you need to go to the API Console and choose the 'Billing' option from the menu. When

Thanks for that, I tried to setup Cloud Storage and thought that I could be on a free quota (we're already paying for GAE and didn't really want to pay again for something that GAE should be doing). Anyway, if there's a free quota for Cloud storage, I don't know how to enable it. The cost of wor

Stuart, The issue "2820" has been hanging fire for quite some time now (30 months). It would be a huge help if we could get visibility into whether it would ever be addressed. http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2820 Thanks, Sameer On Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 5:07 PM, Stuart L

Curiosity got the better of me, and I've just tried this - unfortunately, it doesn't work. When serving from Google Storage using send_blob I received the pre-gzipped content, but the Content-Encoding header was not sent. You might want to try something with signed URLs ( https://developers.goo

Thanks for the tip! I will certainly try next week. Storing two versions would be nice and easy to do! On Friday, 22 June 2012 23:38:40 UTC+12, Stephen Lewis wrote: > > When you serve up a Cloud Storage object directly from Cloud Storage, you > can certainly pre-gzip the content and make sure it

When you serve up a Cloud Storage object directly from Cloud Storage, you can certainly pre-gzip the content and make sure it's served with the correct 'Content-Encoding'. The reference to this is at: https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/reference-headers#contentencoding I'd be interested

thanks for the suggestion. The resources I was talking about are large but not static, that's I've been using compressed entities and now the blob store. Have given up on the blob store for now, and reverted to compressed entities. Might try with the Google cloud store. On Friday, 22 June 2012

As Jeff mentioned on the SDK thread, maybe try Cloudflare.com. I've just turned it on and it's not too painful, although I had to set up my page rules just right. If you have static content, they'll gzip and cache it for you on their CDN. One option if you don't want them proxying your whole

Thanks Stuart, indeed it looks like the same issue. I'm gonna try loading the blob content in memory first. It's going to be slower but that's what I've been doing until yesterday: I was compressing large entities and storing them in up to 1MB sized entities. I switched to the blobstore in orde
