Address bar redirects for https and some paths
Daniel Young
In the browser address bar in chrome/firefox if I type in 'example.com/full/path'
It redirects to https://www.example.com. If I type the full path (https://www.example.com/full/path) in the address bar there is no problem.
I have https required in app.yaml
- url: /.*
script: myapp.app
secure: always
redirect_http_response_code: 301
However, some shorter paths work in the address bar, if I type in 'example.com/help' it routes fine to the https://www.example.com/help.
I can't tell if the issue is in app.yaml, the dns records, or somewhere in a browser settings.

Hello Daniel
As you referred to the issue discussed in this Stackoverflow link, I went through a couple of cases related to “xxx domain is already mapped to a project “ . In order to solve this, you would need to use the API which will let you overwrite the existing mapping, however, please keep in mind that doing this will probably stop other products for serving as if the domain is mapped on another App Engine, that app will no longer serve from this domain.
You can use the following steps in order to execute the API:
1) Go to this link.
2) Fill out the request form and enable OAuth2.0 Under the request body on the id parameter, put your naked domain.
3) Execute the command, which will require you to authenticate with Google
4) To enable Google's built-in SSL support (Optional): Select your subdomain from the table of custom domains under App Engine settings and click the "Enable Managed Security" button.
I found this solution worked for many people, so I would recommend you to try this. If you still having this issue, Please open a private issue in issue tracker. Please provide the output of this [1] command in the body including detailed description of your issue. Which will allow us to investigate your project in depth.
