The Google Storage documentation page states that You can use a CNAME redirect only with HTTP, not with HTTPS. But I cannot see any reason for that. Can anyone explain me why?
Assume you have a CNAME record:
Browser resolves name
travel-maps.example.comand gets IP forc.commondatastorage.googleapis.com, then connects to port 443 of this address.Server with this IP couldn’t possibly[1] have proper certificate for
travel-maps.example.com(and all other domain names with CNAME records like this). Onlyexample.comdomain owner could get a trusted cert for his own domain.[1] Unless you uploaded the certificate to the CDN network which is a common feature nowadays.
