Just what I was looking for. Your instructions worked perfectly. I’m seeing a speed up of a minimum of 100ms over my current host on images. It’s also nice to see that google takes care of cache settings, etc.

@Zackatoustra It shouldn’t be a problem to do the CDN on GAE in Java, I will put it on my list of todos. I have also thoughts on some other pratical uses for GAE that I might post about soon

Hey there,
Now that Java is also running on Google App Engine, would that be possible to see such an implementation of a CDN, in Java, on GAE?

Hi,

I don’t have the app_engine folder under c:\program files\google\ but there are other Google apps there.

Is there a new place to download this from?

@Rajesh Without having looked into the details of this I suspect that you will have problems just moving a Google Site over to Google App Engine. If you can export the Google Site as HTML then you can just upload those HTML files to GAE, otherwise I think you might be stuck where you are.

Excellent walkthrough Andreas. I am a newbie and have a related problem. I have built a website on Google Sites and am hosting it currently at Dreamhost.com. I would love to host it on the Google App engine so that I can eliminate hosting fees. Is there anyway I can do this? I am already done with steps 1-4 of your walkthrough.
Thanks
Rajesh

@Len If you try running the command in the bat file from a command promt you can see if it uploads something or not, and if there is a problem you will (hopefully) also see a helpfull error message.

I setup the app engine on google and see the url in Manage Start Page but if I click it or enter it I get a page cannot be displayed. My Bat file seems to work pretty fast so I’m not sure I’m transfering anything either.

Yes Solrac your right, the startpage is all in the index.html file (and the CSS file it is importing). Just change what you need and reupload it to your Google App Engine site and your should be all done.

.. think is the ‘index.html’ file included on your digitalisticcdn.zip file, didn’t it?
