I have the following scenario:
- Website is hosted in AppEngine and we want to force it to always load in https. (we use secure:always in app.yaml)
- Domain is managed in Google Apps. We have uploaded SNI certificate and all looks good
- In Google Apps we set the redirect of the naked domain to the www version of it
The following URLs all work:
- http:// website.com (redirects to https:// www.website.com)
- http:// www.website.com (redirects to https:// www.website.com)
- https:// www.website.com (the URL of the app)
However this URL does not redirect and gives an error:
- https:// website.com
Is this a bug or is this a settings issue?
As it is right now, SSL for naked domains does not work directly and this is an expected behavior. This is being tracked as issue 10802. Also, have a look at this question, where they found a workaround to use Naked domains and SSL through Google Apps. An alternative solution is proposed here.
