Secure websockets on app engine (?)

See original GitHub issue

The README for the appengine/websockets example says:

To use Secure WebSockets now, you can launch a VM on Google Compute Engine using a custom image where you have added SSL support for WebSockets.

It would be great if the README could elaborate on this, as most sites are served over HTTPS nowadays and thus also require the websockets connection to be secure. This is also my usecase!

In, fact any suggestion on how supporting SSL inside that docker image could be achieved, would be greatly appreciated!

Bump. Same question here. Need secure websockets on App Engine for our node.js implementation. So far, this seems to be the last issue preventing us from moving our Production env. to App Engine. Any updates?

@steren Thank you for your answer. I know this is probably hard to estimate, do you have an ETA for this? We have some major decisions to make in my team and one of the key decision-making factor is the WebSockets support 😄
