Access non-secure http endpoint inside the standard app engine?

[Mapperkids]

Hi,

We try to access the non-secure endpoint within the app that running on standard app engine, Google compliant about it and blocked the request, there is no way I can ask the source to enable https, how can we bypass it or make the endpoint as exception.

The endpoint is like http://83.34.23.33:9100 which send a print request to the printer port for printer purpose. I did try to remove the secure: always from the app.yaml and not working still.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Mapperkids, 

Normally, removing the ‘secure: always’ parameter from under the correct handler in app.yaml should allow both HTTP and HTTPS requests with URLs that match the handler.

In your description, you mention: “the non-secure endpoint [is] within the app that running on standard app engine” and that “there is no way [you] can ask the source to enable https” (assuming the source is the same GAE standard app). You also added that you are able to modify the app.yaml to remove ‘secure: always’.

To help us better understand the setup, can you clarify a few things:

- Can you confirm removing the ‘secure: always’ parameter from all handlers in the app.yaml?

- Does the app.yaml that you modified belong to the same app containing the endpoint? 

- Are you trying to reach the endpoint from within the same app, or are they two different GAE apps where one is sending a request to the other?

- If they are two different GAE apps, are they located within the same project?
