Garmin Connect Mobile 4.22 for Android includes the changes to allow HTTP on 127.0.0.1.

Connect version 4.20 broke local http access?

Getting several reports of functionality no longer working, it looks like Android Garmin connect app version 4.20 may have broken web request to local host via urls like http://127.0.0.1:17580/sgv.json?count=3

    And 2nd important thing to add to my elaborate: Using web server for such local communication is of course really far from ideal as having running web server all the time in the background in mobile platform is exactly the thing what nobody wants. So there comes the tricks how to wake up the web server from user input in Garmin device - a discipline on its own. Open mouth I believe this should be put also in consideration when thinking about this topic.
