Does Google App Engine support SSL for apps hosted as mydomain.com?

Question

From this question I learned that Google App Engine does not currently support SSL on \"custom domains\" (at least not as of June 2010, when that question was asked).

You can get SSL to work on your custom domain hosted on AppEngine, however you need to run a reverse proxy that can modify the host header to do so. If you want to setup a reverse proxy yourself, you can do so following these instructions:

Alternatively, you can use a reverse proxy service like CloudFlare. The process of getting SSL to work with an appspot.com domain is documented on the CloudFlare Blog:
