title: Images on SSL App Engine
body: <p>I have an application on Google App Engine.   I used to store images within Ndb blobs, and serve them from GAE.   Then all this relatively static seemed to put needless load on the application, and I switched to storing all images (including user-uploaded) within a GCS bucket, made publicly available through <a href="http://static.mysite.com" rel="nofollow">http://static.mysite.com</a>, and served directly from there. </p>
  
  <p>This is working great.   Until I consider switching the application to SSL.</p>
  
  <p>Setting up SSL for my GAE application went OK, but then I get security warnings because images are not served through SSL.   So I need an SSL access to my GCS images, but GCS does not support SSL, and I see no plans for it in the future.</p>
  
  <p>What are the options ?  Storing images in GCS seems to be the recommended choice, and going SSL is now recommended for most websites, but the two seem to be incompatible.</p>
  
  <p>I see Google CDN could be one approach that would (maybe) support SSL, but it's kind of overkill in my case.</p>
