The reason people on stackoverflow are downvoting is because the question 
is really not one that an average, technically-informed user could answer. 
Rather, this touches on questions which only project members could answer, 
since we maintain and develop URL Fetch and its certificate files, signing 
algorithms. App Engine issue reports should go to the google app engine 
public issue tracker, issues or errors with your own code/project should go 
to stackoverflow, and threads like this one belong here.

Given that there's already a public issue tracker issue opened for better 
documenting the HTTPS behaviour/settings of Url Fetch, I'll have to update 
this thread within the next week, after seeing if I can glean any more 
useful information.

One easy way to determine whether things are working for you is to attempt 
to make API calls and observe if any errors occur, when targeting the API 
in the "sandbox environment", since the document you linked says the 
changes would be implemented in February 2015 in this "sandbox environment" 
(sorry I'm not more familiar with paypal's infrastructure or terminology).

So, I hope to update this thread within the next week with any information 
I can gather.

Sincerely,

Nick
