My wish list for (Spring) Christmas...

Now we have 9 months for Christmas - that we in my family calls the Spring Christmas ;-) - so here is my three wishes for improvements in Connect IQ

POST support for makeJsonRequest - with functionality akind to https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?217680-Comm-makeJsonRequest-How-to-add-POST-data&p=532279#post532279 - this would allow for all sorts of widgets and apps that access information from Google, Facebook, Twitter, Strava, RunKeeper, etc, etc - a lot of the interesting web services uses OAuth2, which requires use of POST and https to be secure
https support - see https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?217680-Comm-makeJsonRequest-How-to-add-POST-data&p=534748#post534748 - same as above
some way to share properties between applications, especially widget/app -> data field - see https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?185296-Method-to-share-settings-properties-between-apps - this would allow us to develop data fields that are not "just" simple calculations on the current state of an activity but something that relates to data from fitness sites

What are your wishes for Christmas? And why?

My wishlist is:
1) Add the ability to store generic ANT data in the FIT file. In the Moxy use case, we can work around this limitation by downloading data from the watch and from the sensor and merging the two FIT files into one, but this is a major pain. The pain has a bit of burning itch to it since these are all fitness watches and it's all ANT+. This should "just work".
2) Add the ability to connect more than one generic ANT sensor. We have many users that want to use 2 or 3 Moxy sensors at once. This is only useful if the watch will record the data in the FIT file.
3) Add support for the Edge series. Several of my customers have asked for it.
