How to handle HTTPS in development?

[Kaan Soral]

HTTP is great, easy to test on SDK, but https is a pain, SDK doesn't support two IP's.

I am thinking of building an app that will only use HTTPS, how should I proceed?

My current solution is to check if we are on Appengine in code, and if we are on Appengine and HTTP, redirect to HTTPS, otherwise SDK would run on HTTP
Very inelegant but it would work

What you describe will work - are you on Java or Python? In Java,
Filters are very effective for this task.

Hey Kaan,
Have you looked at using "secure: always" in your app.yaml, rather
than redirecting yourself?

For any urls that you add to your templates, make sure that you dont
put http: in front of them. Just leave them as //www.domain.com. Do a
project wide search and replace(and get 1000 tickets later for broken
stuff).

Thanks a lot Robertk
This is exactly what I've been looking for, don't know why I haven't tried it before, logically it has no effect on SDK, which is great

And thanks for everyone who answered, thanks for the tip Vivek
