HTTPS websites on GCS

[husayt]

Hi,

there is a great not well known feature offered by GCS, which allows to host static websites off a GCS bucket.

https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/website-configuration

It's very simple and has not got to many features, but allows to build full website solutions, like these:

http://demo1.lmx.pm/

http://demo3.lmx.pm/

http://demo6.lmx.pm/

We can set CNAME mapping to our domains and it works perfectly like a website.

There is one major limitation and that is:

SSL is not currently supported. You can only use a CNAME redirect with HTTP, not with HTTPS. Therefore, you should serve content from your bucket that does not contain sensitive or private data. 

Nowadays, SSL is must even for static content, so we would really appreciate if this could be looked into.

Thanks

HG
