Unable to link domain to app engine

The domain (ioeh.org) is registered with Google Domains, and all the A, AAAA, CNAME records were pointed to google server. I can ping it with no problem.

On the google cloud platform console side, I setup the specific app with custom domain ioeh.org, with no problem. However, the domain will never direct to the app?

Any insights?

I see a redirect to https://ioeh.org. Have you gone through the Apps SSL steps, such as uploading your cert?

Hi Nick,

Thanks for answering my question. I do not want SSL with my app, and do not want to go through the SSL hassle process either.

How do I setup my Google Domains and Google Cloud Platform to remove SSL?

Hi Jun,

You'll need to investigate your app to figure out where the https redirect is coming from. This is a response sent by the server with a status code in the 3xx family which points the client to re-send their request using the https protocol rather than naked http. This might be happening due to the config in your app.yaml or appengine-web.xml configuration files. It also might be caused by a given framework you used to create your web app/site. Let me know if this sounds like a start for you to begin investigating. There's nothing in your DNS settings which should mandate HTTPS.
