It's still not clear what is generating the message you see. Can you show
the URL you are attempting to visit and exactly what you see on the page?
Note, requiring login via @auth.requires_login() or @auth.requires() does
not require HTTPS or a "secure channel", so merely requiring login for
particular actions would not result in the message you are seeing.
If you have request.requires_https() somewhere, you'll need to make it
conditional on the environment -- for example:
if os.getenv('SERVER_SOFTWARE', '').startswith('Google App Engine/'):
request.requires_https() # Only when running on GAE.
If that's the issue, though, it has nothing to do with requiring login.
