Channel API between front and backend instances

[WanderingGAE]

Is it possible for a channel (Channel API) to be created in one instance (frontend) and used in a backend instance?  I've tried sharing the channel id using memcache, but the Backend instance's channel messages just do not arrive at the client.  The client does receive an instance from the frontend to start.  Thanks!

Not at the moment, but we're working on a fix for this, so that a channel created by a frontend can be used by a backend, and vice-versa.  I can't provide an exact release date at this point, but it likely will be in one of the next few releases.

Until then, the suggested method of handling this is to have either your frontend or backend be responsible for Channel communication, and use another mechanism for communication between FE and BE, such as urlfetch, memcache, the datastore, or the task queue.

Any news on this potential fix?

I think it's the same problem.
