Connecting to Google App Engine

This is strange, but using the "raw" request method it does work. I am posting this here so others can have an example of how to use the request method:

    var options = {
      host: 'hybrisiot.appspot.com', 
      port: '80',
      path:'/shelves/default/status/' + getButtonStatus(), 
      method:'post'
    };

    var req = require("http").request(options, function(res)
    {
		res.on('data', function(data) {
          if (debug) {
			console.log('> ' + data);
          }
        lights(data);
        setTimeout(postData, 5000); //repeat every 5 sec
		digitalWrite(LED1,0);
      });
    });
    req.end();

Unfortunately I have a new problem - will create a new thread for that.
