Hey all, We're still looking into this. To help us eliminate some possibile issues, can someone who's working behind the Google App Engine IP addresses attempt to connect to both http://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token and https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token and let us know if you're seeing a difference between the two?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Not able to connect to twitter API from Google Appengine
Hi Everyone, Here are the details on the issues with Google App Engine. Twitter blocked a portion of the GAE network because an unknown user set up a large proxy farm, forwarding large amounts of traffic to twitter.com. This was probably an attempt to avoid our rate limits, which is against the Twitter terms of service, among other privacy and security issues. We recognize that those in shared hosting environments like Google App Engine are often held hostage by the actions of their peers and will continue to investigate ways that we can deal with issues like this without necessarily cutting off all traffic from a shared hosting services, but those operating under such circumstances should be aware that this kind of blacklisting will occur from time to time. If you continue to experience issues with your Google App Engine application, please reply to this thread with a link to your application, and, if possible, the IP address from which your remote requests are originating.
