Cloud Storage considers retrieving an object through its HTTP url is considered a class B XML request type which is priced at $0.01/10,000 ops. This is 1.3x-2.5x more expensive than cloudfront and s3 respectively

Can you get somone who works on Cloud Storage to take a look at the pricing please? :) It seems like an anomaly since Google Cloud is usually at par or cheaper than AWS equivalents.

Also, the pricing on this page https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing#operations-pricing specifies only XML API pricing. I didn't expect HTTP GET requests to be counted as XML API requests and that caused me some trouble. We moved from cloudfront to Cloud Storage and the bill increased
