I have read in this list that others have gotten this to work. However, I have 
not pursued it because the state of the art of this integration means that 
traffic from CloudFlare Data Center(s) to Google Data Center(s) will be 
unencrypted and this does not pass my end to end security standards.

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'...

I have set up the entry as so 'myapp.appspot.com CNAME mydomain.com' but with

That doesnt work on its own, because CloudFlare's proxy will send the HTTP Host 
header, still set to mydomain.com back to the origin (AppEngine) - in that 
situation, AppEngine has no way of knowing what appid, is meant to serve the 
domain. 



 

If you have made naked domains work with GAE, how did you do it?

You need a proxy, capable of rewriting the http host header. There are 
commerical services that offer this. 

I've done it previously using Varnish on a small VPS. quite easy to setup if 
have some basic linux knowledge. 


And I do know edgecast CDN does offer http header rewriting, but not tried it 
with AppEngine. 
 

People using CloudFlare with AppEngine, I think is using the SSL option, where 
the Flexible SSL option may well offer host header rewriting (because it 
reterminates SSL) - so using the SSL option, even if you dont strictly need 
SSL, might work.
