Boto/Route53 + GAE Compatibility Issue

[TFenby]

The issue described here applies to both Boto and gtaylor/python-route53.

Basically, when running Boto or Route53 on GAE, the way in which Requests extends httplib doesn't work with Google's httplib, which uses urlfetch instead of self.sock/self.connect. (Assuming I understood everything correctly in my quick debugging.) This causes the connection, despite being created as an HTTPS connection, to be established as HTTP, which Amazon refuses.

We will not support GAE as we have frequently discussed on the issue tracker (most recently on https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/1905). Please search the bug tracker before opening requests in the future.

Cheers!

Ah, my bad. Thanks.

Almighty requests developer,

Now that the underlying urllib3 already claimed support for AppEngine, does AppEngine a supported platform for requests now? Thank you.

It is not a supported platform. =)

We will announce if and when we make that decision, but maintaining support for it is tricky and unhelpful.
