Google App Engine (GAE) cron at external url: http

I am trying to use GAE for a cron job. But I am getting a 500 server error. Is it because I am trying to use an external url? I can't find any documentation on this. When I use the internal url it works fine. But I would like cron to run a php script on my site.

Is there any other way to do this? I'm completely noob ...

Thanks for any help Christian

This is my code:

  http://www.mysite.com/apps/pushthis.php   Trigger notifications for the project every 2 minutes

You can make this work very easy. Create a small AppEngine that responds to a URL that will be called by the AE cron. This request handler can use the URL API to call an external URL. A little bit of extra work, but you will reach your goal.



See this question for more information and practical examples of encoding with URL Fetch.
