Hi Ruoshui,

App Engine will make outgoing HTTP requests from a subset of the addresses
returned by the TXT record _netblocks.google.com. Note that these can change
at any time, so you can't simply fetch the list as it stands now and assume
that will continue to be the case.

IP-based authentication is a poor choice here, as you will open yourself up
to access by any App Engine application. Instead, you should implement a
proper authentication system and use that instead of relying on IP ranges
for your security.
