Google App Engine + Blog hosted on 3rd party platform

[david28]

My Google App Engine app (Python 2.72) is located at www.mydomain.com. 

I also have a Tumblr - blog that is currently located at mydomain.tumblr.com.

Here's what I want to do:

For SEO reasons, I want my blog to be accessible via www.mydomain.com/blog. It would be easy to map my blog to blog.mydomain.com, but that's not what I want to do. 

It seems that a reverse proxy is needed to accomplish this: :http://www.seomoz.org/blog/what-is-a-reverse-proxy-and-how-can-it-help-my-seo

My research has been fruitless so far. Does anyone know how to do this?

The short answer is that when you get a request for
www.mydomain.com/blog/*, you make a urlfetch to mydomain.tumblr.com/*.

However, I'm not sure this will work. I would certainly be curious to
know the results of your attempt, because it's been on my list of
things to experiment with. Tumblr's client-side scripts might be
sensitive to the browser domain, and the mismatch between what tumblr
thinks your domain is (mydomain.tumblr.com) and what the browser
thinks your doman is (www.mydomain.com) may cause issues.

On the other hand, it might just work. Let us know.
