from google.appengine.ext import webapp
from google.appengine.ext.webapp.util import run_wsgi_app

class DirecotryHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self, tail):
if tail == ”:
self.redirect(‘/directory/’, permanent=True);
#TODO: respond to “/directory/” request

def head(self, tail):
if tail == ”:
self.redirect(‘/directory/’, permanent=True);
#TODO: respond to “/directory/” request

application = webapp.WSGIApplication(

Instead you have to get somebody (your domain registrar is the only reasonable choice I can think of) to set up HTTP redirection for you. Then, if somebody tries to open http://example.com/ that request will go to that server (your registrar’s in this case) which will always respond with an HTTP redirect to http://www.example.com/. That redirected request will go to Google AppEngine and be properly handled.

I posted more on this a few weeks ago here.

Hope this solves your problem for you.

I am trying to set up the “naked domain handling” for the app engine in Java development .

Can you pls help me how to do it ?

Thanks

this is awesome… I thought there was no easy way to handle this… was driving me nuts…
