I'll pretend for a moment that you're being thick instead of deliberately disingenuous: > https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/google-appengine/om1DF_61Xl4/cRtKFojKc > BMJ This was back when CloudFlare offered full-mile SSL to GAE. They did it by issuing a second ssl request to ghs.google.com with a Host header override to xyz.appspot.com. Apparently that worked for a while, until Google stopped accepting ssl requests on ghs.google.com. CF was doing the wrong thing (xyz.appspot.com != ghs.google.com) but this problem is totally unrelated to today's issue. Apparently GAE wasn't a big enough market for them to devote enough engineering resources to fix that particular problem, so the feature got removed. The reason I know what's going on here is because I lobbied (unsuccessfully) to get their platform lead to bring the feature back. > http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CFgQFjAB > &url=http%3A%2F%2Fproductforums.google.com%2Fd%2Ftopic%2Fwebmasters%2FsILDRV > zPo6U&ei=38cZUMO_L4mMqwGk6oCICg&usg=AFQjCNHk6YVJTj6-hj_2NYP1OBBIuSFQXw&sig2= > dRQ9_wSJ8bDC4nzzS6IQVQ Who knows what's going on here, but it isn't related to anything that happened today. It's not even running on GAE or subject to GAE's attack prevention. > You guys can be assholes, but I'm telling you where your problem is. I told > you 2 years ago, I told you 9 months ago.

Are you so certain of this that you're willing to grant me free license to DOS your CDN at a time of my choosing? I have some reasonable suspicions as to how to tickle Google's defenses, and shutting down your entire business in the middle of prime-time would be a really spectacular way to prove someone wrong on the internet.
