I know that GAE does not support this yet, but is there any reason it can't be done? If they can add support, I'd assume they're working on that. Have they said anything about this publicly?

A:
They can - there is no technical reason why not, especially with newer TLS versions (RFC 4366) which support virtual hosted SSL/TLS. Before this point an SSL session required a dedicated IP per certificate.

Unfortunately, browser support for SNI isn't widespread enough yet to be a practical solution.

SNI support isn't ubiquitous yet, but it is coming very close. Pretty much all the major browsers support it now as well as the OpenSSL libraries, really the only thorn left is Windows XP - it limits a number of browsers on that platform.

There are a few different ways they might choose to handle this, including automatic IP address re-routing and SNI. It has been one of the most requested features for well over a year, and very recently, they officially put it on their Product Roadmap. It was also mentioned in their App Engine for Business announcement.

Thanks for all the links! The Google Code issue says the priority if this issue is medium though. Of course, it's always hard to set or interpret priority/severity of an issue in a bug tracker.

There is no such support at the moment but it's noted in the roadmap for upcoming releases.
