Spring Social on Google AppEngine

If you run into the 
javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection is a restricted class
issues using Spring Social on Google AppEngine, please note that ClientHttpRequestFactorySelector 
"Picks a HttpComponentsClientRequestFactory factory if Apache HttpComponents HttpClient is in the classpath. If not, falls back to SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory."


So check your classpath! Avoid HttpClient on AppEngine!
