Hi,
I got one feature in mind I always missed in the old http-server. While surfing you often get URIs of audio and video streams. Not talking about YouTube sites, but direct links to webradios, livestreams etc.
XBMC is able to play them fine, but you have to create a ".strm" file containing the URI stored somewhere XBMC can find. It would be way easier to have an JSON command causing the given address to be played instantly. We might access it by plain web input fields, or even browser plugins submitting locations on context clicks.
