Thanks for the info. Interesting that naked domains may work with CloudFlare's Flexible SSL option.
Can anyone confirm this? I don't want to spend $20 for their pro plan just to find out it does not work. CloudFlare's support has not been that great. The support guy still thinks it should all just work even without SSL turned on and advised me to 'check my settings on GAE'...
