Great info, this is exactly what I couldn't track down, thanks! I'll keep apprised of changes, that might just coincide with our release, or at least shortly thereafter and I'll be able to migrate back onto GAE soon.
I can't imagine lack of SSL not being a showstopper, to me it makes a webhosting provider irrelevant without it. Specifically we will process credit card transactions and need to accept and relay the financial data (not just doing a paypal/google payments re-directs because we offer a more complex auto re-charge option requiring us to handle the card info and obtain a transaction id for future reference). Beyond that in general I don't want account pages unsecured. I can't think of many websites of significance that don't employ SSL somewhere. And of course re-directs to myapp.appspot.com is just unprofessional, unacceptable, and I imagine a pain in the rear with cookie/session issues (that's would be one ugly hack). Thanks for the quick and detailed response! It was very helpful!

According to the issue tracker someone started working on it last week: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=792 According to the App Engine For Business Roadmap it will be a limited release by the end of this year: http://code.google.com/appengine/business/roadmap.html What I really would like to know is how they're going to do it: sni (could be free once you have the cert), fixed ip (will cost something) or some other voodoo. I don't see why this is a showstopper for you though.
