I've been thinking about an alternative for awhile now: HTML5 CORS feature (here's a nice example: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/cors/)
That, of course, highly depends on the app structure. This could work if the app is using Ajax to deliver actual content to the users. At least for browsers that support XmlHttpRequest2/XDomainRequest. For instance, GWT could be a perfect match. Like this forum, the new version, is built with GWT I assume. Basically, a base HTML is being requested from http://www.example.org but the actual content is being loaded from https://example-org.appspot.com, and fall back to HTTP from the custom domain in case the browser doesn't support XHR2. Could be an optional feature to customers. Something similar to a "Always use HTTPS" setting in Google Apps configuration for GMail and other services. What do you guys think?
