I use google managed-VMs. My module has several instances. I need to perform a HTTP call on each of these instances. Hence, I would like to know if there is a way to specify the recipient instance in the URL.
For instance I tried: http://<instance-name>.<module-name>.<project-name>.appspot.com/ without success.
You're missing a <version-name> in there:
http://<instance-name>.<version-name>.<module-name>.<project-name>.appspot.com
See https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/modules/#Python_Application_hierarchy for more details (this is the page for Python, but it applies across-the-board.

I'm building some reporting tool. Ideally I want to avoid going through web server logs myself and use (some of) the power of Piwik.
The stuff I get from the visitor log would be a good start, this is at http://example.com/piwik/index.php?module=CoreHome&action=index&idSite=1&period=day&date=yesterday#/module=Live&action=getVisitorLog&idSite=1&period=day&date=yesterday
Unfortunately I can't find a getVisitorLog action in the HTTP API docs at
http://developer.piwik.org/api-reference/reporting-api#Actions (and it's also not an undocumented feature, method=Actions.getVisitorLog gives me
The method 'getVisitorLog' does not exist or is not available in the module '\Piwik\Plugins\Actions\API'.
Is there another way to get to this? Or should I write a plugin for Piwik?
Apparently it is possible through the Live plugin API:
http://developer.piwik.org/api-reference/reporting-api#Live
This works as desired:
http://example.com/piwik/index.php?module=API&method=Live.getLastVisitsDetails&format=JSON&idSite=1&period=day&date=2015-07-21&expanded=1&token_auth=XXXXX&filter_limit=100
in the official trigger.io docs there seems to be no provision for custom http headers when it comes to the forge.file module. I need this so I can download files behind an http authentication scheme. This seems like an easy thing to add, if support is not already there.
any workarounds? any chance of a quick fix in the next update? I know I could use forge.request instead, but I'd like to keep a local copy (saveURL).
thanks
Unfortunately the file module just uses simple "download url" methods rather than a full HTTP request library, which makes it a fairly big task to add support for custom headers.
I've added a task to our backlog for this, but I don't have a timeframe for it being added.
Currently on iOS you can do basic auth by using urls in the form http://user:password#url.com in case that helps.
Maybe to avoid this you can configure your server differently, or have a proxy server in front that allows you to pass authentication details as get parameters?
I use httplib.HTTPConnection within my app. Do I really need to provide host parameter in httplib.HTTPConnection constructor? If so, why? (I mean, I know that it's a mandatory parameter, but I wonder if I could specify None or empty string) And is there any global constant in Google AppEngine and in development server which I can use within my app in order to omit explicitly defined host.
If you leave it out of the constructor, how will the other methods know where to send their messages?
The address/name of the server you're connecting to is the parameter for the HTTPConnection, the URI on that server is what goes into request.
From the python documentation (which is the basis for AppEngine)
h1 = httplib.HTTPConnection(host[, port[, strict[, timeout[, source_address]]]])
h1.request(method, url[, body[, headers]])
[edit]
Remember, it may not always be you who is responsible for this code. Also, why complicate things by including so much more information in the URI when you're (for example) making calls to numerous URI's on the same website?

I'd like to know, in a particular request, what the pending_ms value is (assuming it exists for the given request).
I know that the App Engine logs include this value, but I'm hoping to find it elsewhere for use in gae_mini_profiler.
I've searched around the App Engine source, but no luck -- this is being added elsewhere in the GAE pipeline.
There's not currently any way to access this programmatically, either from within the request or outside it. Please do file a feature request for it, though.
I actually asked this question before, but I cannot get my account details back, so I'm asking again:
I have a series of different domain names that I would like to all point (via URL forwarding from my domain host) to a google app engine application that reads what the forwarding URL is. So if the domain typed in was original XYZ.com, then when I am forwarded to my application, I can return what that original domain name was. I'm using the python variant. How best can I do this without coding for each and every variant?
So for example I might have aaa.com and bbb.com and ccc.com that all should point to the same appspotdomain, and I wish to somehow determine what the referring URL was. I have thousands of domains and I have URL forwarding set-up. So unless I put something in the header is there a smart way to pull out the referring URL. I have tried the os.environ["SERVER_NAME"] route but this just gives the app-engine domain.
Try
os.environ['HTTP_REFERER']
or
self.request.headers['Referer']
Be careful though, it might not always be available.
