I wanted your opinions on an SSL workaround I'm planning for my
medical app.

Let's say my medical app is www.mymedical.com.

The front-end is written in GWT and served from AppEngine via HTTP
from www.mymedical.com. It does not even use the datastore.

The back-end is a JSON data API at mymedical.appspot.com. It has all
the important stuff: db of users, their medical data, etc. It only
responds to HTTPS.

Question: How do we make secure requests for sensitive data without
the loss of branding that occurs when mymedical.appspot.com appears on
the address bar?

Answer: Serve all pages from www.mymedical.com, and have those pages
execute asynchronous API calls to mymedical.appspot.com. Retrieve
responses by having the server output JSONP (http://bob.pythonmac.org/
archives/2005/12/05/remote-json-jsonp/) rather than plain JSON.

Do any of you guys currently do this? How does it work for you?
