Cute and Geeky Anniversary Gift

My friend bought a domain for his interior-designer girlfriend on their second anniversary. Awwwww, cute.. and geeky :) Don't you love how technology brings us closer?

Even comes with a lovely poem . You may check the site at www.veravillarosa.com

Cloud Foundry and Custom Domain

Currently, Cloud Foundry (CF) doesn't support mapping of external URL's (See discussion).  The workaround is to use a reverse proxy. For this job, I hosted it Google App Engine (GAE) and used BS2 GAE Reverse Proxy. Credits to yufeiwu for the free reverse proxy app.

Prerequisite:

- GAE account

- Also, please read the Python Tutorial for the development environment and pushing your app to Google server.

Steps:

1. Download the reverse proxy library (license: LGPL) in http://code.google.com/p/bs2grproxy/
2. Modify bs2grpconfig.py
• set TARGET_HOST to your cloud foundry url
  e.g. TARGET_HOST = "mvergel.cloudfoundry.com"
3. Modify app.yaml
• set your registered application id
4. Push the app and make it live

I will continue to use this approach for my website until CF have a proper DNS support.

[UPDATE] Many are encountering a problem with the session using this method. There is a patch that fixes this issue. Thank you Marius Anton for the information.
