When you search for a country, a city or even a district of a city on Google Maps then its borders are highlighted.

It would be very useful in the static Maps API too, so we could show an administrative area and highlight its borders or even its area. I mean by name, not by specyfing polypoints by hand.

So the developer could tell the API to highlight the border of India on the map, or Prague, or a district of Budapest, etc.

These are all known by Google Maps and it can highlight these borders. Add the same ability to the static maps api too.

This error means that there are SSL issues when connecting to any of those URLs–do you have any unusual proxy or network settings? You may need to configure gcloud to use them. Or were you behind a captive portal at the time you ran this?

Nothing unusual with proxy or network.. Normal NAT behind home router. Not experiencing anything unusual elsewhere with SSL connect to Google (and others).

What do you mean by "captive portal"?

Also, get this with "gcloud auth login" after the browser completes:
ERROR: (gcloud.auth.login) [Errno 185090050] _ssl.c:344: error:0B084002:x509 certificate routines:X509_load_cert_crl_file:system lib
This may be due to network connectivity issues. Please check your network settings, and the status of the service you are trying to reach.

FWIW, am trying to reach nlp api.

From the QuickStart:

curl -s -k \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer TESTTEST" \

https://language.googleapis.com/v1beta1/documents:analyzeEntities \
-d @entity-request.json

produces:

{
"error": {
"code": 401,
"message": "Request had invalid authentication credentials.",
"status": "UNAUTHENTICATED"
}
}

which indicates SSL is working through curl...

Hm...what happens when you run

$ python -c "import urllib2; urllib2.urlopen('

https://www.google.com/')"

?

May have just found an interesting work-around:

gcloud config set custom_ca_certs_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

"gcloud auth login" now succeeds...

Not a fix -- but at least a work-around...?

Follow up.
Work-around got me all the way through.
Just processed first NLP request.
Thanks!
