  issue 141 (Warn the user if their app is too large) reported by shatteredNirvana   -   Since the user's application is stored in the database, a problem can arise if the database in question cannot store large objects. Need to warn the user if their app is too large (>1MB) while we move the app out of the database into a different location that can store larger files. Done, will be in next release.

  issue 139 (SSL doesn't work) reported by shatteredNirvana   -   If the user specifies that certain pages should be secure, these pages should be only accessed over SSL. Since the SDK doesn't generate SSL certificates or enforce this, neither do we. Need to protect access to these pages correctly.

  issue 138 (Allow user to upload a directory instead of a tarball) reported by shatteredNirvana   -   Many beginning users have reported inconveniences with having to tarball up their application instead of simply pointing to the directory containing their app (as Google does). Will give the user the option to do either.

  issue 135 (Running AppScale with bad ips.yaml not handled correctly) reported by shatteredNirvana   -   If appscale is started with a bad ips.yaml or with incorrect args, and then is run it again, the user is told there is already an instance of appscale running. This forces the user to use the terminate tool, which is unnecessary since AppScale isn't running.

  issue 133 (Java memcache API stats differences) changed by shatteredNirvana   -   The Google App Engine memcache API exposes two statistics to the user that are not found in the memcache(d) stats: total number of items currently in memcache time of the oldest item in memcache The local SDK gets around the first stat by keeping a counter of the live items in memcache, but for the second it simply returns the lifetime of the cache itself. Will change our implementation to just return zero for both values until these are both implemented (currently it returns the total number of items ever in memcache and the time of the cache, respectively).

  issue 131 (Recover from connection refused in prime scripts) reported by shatteredNirvana   -   The prime_* scripts assume the database is up and running before they make a connection to it, and in normal execution environments this is largely true. However, sometimes the database is started and grabs a particular port and yet the prime script cannot yet connect to it, causing it to fail. Need to change the prime scripts to expect a connection refused and try to do so 3 times (failing if it cannot).
