I had to go through the "Solution 2" of JGreg's answer too many times... So many I created a script to automate it for colleagues in need of help.
Here it is if it helps someone: https://github.com/BrennoBBS/gcloud_ssl_disabler
The correct thing here would be to answer on his response, but I don't interact at all and I don't have reputation to do that yet... So it's as a new response, sorry about that...
