*Hi All,* * * *As part of our continued commitment to security and a standard platform, Google App Engine will soon stop publishing double wildcard SSL certificates for *.*.appspot.com, (e.g., https://version.application.appspot.com <https://foo.bar.appspot.com/> or https://www.application.appspot.com<https://www.version.application.appspot.com/>). This change will take effect no later than April, 2013. Please note that this only affects applications serving from appspot.com, and that any applications serving from custom domains will continue using their existing certificates. Furthermore, this only affects HTTPS access to your application and non-secure HTTP traffic will not be affected.
If you rely on HTTPS access to such URLs for your application, please change any application logic to use “-dot-” instead of “.”. For example, to access version “1” of application “myapp” use “ https://1-dot-myapp.appspot.com<https://1-dot-funwithcertificates.appspot.com/>” instead of “https://1.myapp.appspot.com”. Developers for applications using this pattern as of 1/7/2013 have already received a notification email with instructions for identifying this pattern in their application. Based on our analysis, fewer than 2,000 App Engine applications are currently using double wildcard SSL certificates on appspot.com and the majority of them are using the pattern of https://www.appid.appspot.com, which can safely be replaced with https://appid.appspot.com. Thank you for your continued support of App Engine. If you have any questions or concerns about these changes, please feel free to email us at [email protected] with your application-id and we’ll be happy to assist you.
