Google Appengine now supports HTTPS

Guido van Rossum will give a talk on Google App Engine on Nov 5 at Stanford. The talk can be viewed over the web.<p><a href="http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee380/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee380/</a>

Yikes. At this time either use the appspot.com domain for your URLs or, perhaps in the future, use a technique implemented by only the most modern of browsers (but excluding Safari at the moment). I'm sure that'll work for some people out there. Others, like me, are out of luck. :-(

I haven't been paying much attention to AppEngine, but it seems like kind of a major oversight that there was no SSL support until now. Is anyone using this thing for real work? I don't know how it could be considered much more than a neat toy to play with given its lack for such basic features for so long.

Ruby on Rails please.
