Just curious. Why are you ruining such a good domain by redirecting to www.chee.rs?

That bothers me too. One of the limitations of AppEngine, sadly:

We've been waiting for them to fix this for a while. I hope that it arrives around the same time as SSL support for custom domains.

If you can, use CloudFlare for SSL instead. $20/month and you get a ton of other features. You don't get last mile SSL support to GAE, but at least it stop script kiddies in coffeeshops.

That's not a bad idea- thanks for the suggestion. We can even use the SSL support for https://*.appspot.com to get SSL for the last mile.
