While looking into #40 I made the unpleasant (and quite tardy) discover that Google App Engine explicitly disallows streaming responses like those generated by the /drip, /stream, and /stream-bytes endpoints. Per the docs:
App Engine does not support streaming responses where data is sent in incremental chunks to the client while a request is being processed. All data from your code is collected as described above and sent as a single HTTP response.
That's unfortunate, because App Engine is otherwise a fairly nice place to host a project like this: free to run at current (extremely minimal) request volumes, but with autoscaling built in on the off chance it becomes the next Facebook.
