“TLS requested but server does not support TLS” error with Google Cloud SQL (2nd generation) from Google App Engine?

Question

I\'m running into an issue in re-using my connection string (resolved here ... Cannot connect to Google Cloud SQL using SSL + Golang from Google App Engine ...) from connect

Answer 1

MySQL level SSL is not currently supported between App Engine Standard Environment and Cloud SQL Second Generation instances.

Communication between App Engine Standard Environment and Cloud SQL is already encrypted so using MySQL level SSL does not add a lot of value, though I can understand that doing application level SSL can add some peace of mind since what happens between Cloud SQL and App Engine is opaque.

I'll try to see if this is something we can change.
