You’re a fantastic person, I was looking to host CDN on my own network for ages but bandwidth was too low..
Now finally, because of you, I can host my files on Google network.. 🙂

If I’ll meet you somewhere, I’ll buy you a sandwich..

In our blogger based website we are providing chess game analysis. Those games have *.pgn extension and we want our bloggers to be able to upload pgn files into Google App Engine.

Then they could include a small part of html that would help them to list chess games.

How can we implement such a goal with Google app Engine?

Hi,
Great article, works like a charm after initial hiccup 🙂
Batch file wasn’t working so I dug around & found this:
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadinganapp.html . As per the example , the bat file in step 8) didn’t need the path statement pointing to my Python directory.

The onbly problem is, that google app engine serves files without content-length header, using chunked. IT sucks to host downloads there, since users dont get progress bar while downloading

[…] Shared hosting easily rivals content distribution backed websites when properly configured. My redesign of Newbieworks loads extremely rapidly with as little of overhead as possible and matches loading times of Google. I’ve taken advantage of Google App Engine and used it as a free CDN thanks to a guide by Digitalistic. […]

Hi Andreas.

I’m having a small problem with my App Engine CDN. The app is working, and I can see the “Hello World” at the index level. However I cannot view any files inside?

I am getting a warning message in the Console log that reads the following, but it seems more a WARNING than an ERROR, and the process continues on to check and deploy the new version/s of the app.

“WARNING appengine_rpc.py:399 ssl module not found.
Without the ssl module, the identity of the remote host cannot be verified, and
connections may NOT be secure. To fix this, please install the ssl module from
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ssl .
To learn more, see http://code.google.com/appengine/kb/general.html#rpcssl .”

Does anyone know if the warning would prevent and files being uploaded?

@Albin – I have used this technique successfully myself even if I am not doing so at the moment.

@tk – Thanks for finding that. The net is full of copycats, but at least I should get a link back to my original post.
