Download FIT file using makeWebRequest

I'm trying to download a FIT file on the simulator using makeWebRequest but it doesn't seem to be working.

Comm.makeWebRequest(

            url,

            parameters,

            {

                :method=>Comm.HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_GET,

                :responseType=> Comm.HTTP_RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE_FIT

            },

            method(:onResponse)

        );

If I test on "Round 240x240 Family", target SDK 2.2.x I receive responseCode=10 and data=null

If I choose "Forerunner 735xt" with target SDK 2.2.x, I see the following error in logs:

Invalid value for :responseType for this device.

initialize in /private/var/jenkins/workspace/Tech-CIQ-Mac-Rel/mbsimulator/submodules/technology/monkeybrains/virtual-machine/api/Lang.mb:803

initialize in /Users/XXXX/source/Factory.mc:8

go in /Users/XXXXX/source/Transaction.mc:46

onAccept in /Users/XXXXX/source/Chooser.mc:36

I know that this feature is only included in SDK 2.2.0, but how can I test it? should I use a real device instead?

I am also getting

Invalid value for :responseType for this device.

for a real Fenix 5 trying to download a GPX file with HTTP_RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE_GPX.

On the Fenix 5 family, use FIT not GPX.

Hmm, same thing on my Edge 1000 for GPX. I wonder, which device supports GPX then.

The Rino and Oregon support GPX, and I've confirmed that with real devices.

Sorry for sticking to the topic, but my question is connected with makeWebRequest. Is there any way to download fit's file on IQ 1.3? It's works great on 2.2+ (tested on Edge 520), but when I try to download file on Forerunner 920XT (of course, without :responseType=> Comm.HTTP_RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE_FIT, as it's unsuported) I get responseCode -400. It not must be "download and after that start application related to fit's file". Just download and add to routes will be enough.

I'm almost certain that downloaded FIT or GPX content is only available on 2.2+ since it requires the Persisted Content feature that has not been added to 1.3 or 1.4.

Just as I thought. Thanks! But pity - I know that service it as is on 2.2+ can be hard on resources wich have devices with 1.3, but in many case should be enought just add file to "newfiles" folder, and even let user to restart device.
