It would be nice if data could be fetched from a source via REST API over HTTPS. Most REST APIs return back JSON so ability to parse it would be a useful.

@dzalewski: could you please have a look at the issue linked by Tobias and let me know your thoughts? I rejected this once as YES, REST is easy, but NO, implementing it in a generic way is not as everybody does it different. This starts with authentication, goes to data wrapping, pagination... nothing is really standardized, and everybody does it different.

I fear those zillions of bug reports once I add something similar ;-)
