[Ovmsdev] Twizy feature ideas

Looking at the references mozilla document, it seems that our API use cases fall within the 'simple' approach.

I have changed the tmc.openvehicles.com server to return "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" for all requests, and that is live now. I have also put up the simpleclient.htm for testing at:

http://www.openvehicles.com/simpleclient.htm

It seems to work for me. But, then www.openvehicles.com and tmc.openvehicles.com are somewhat related so this is not a true test.

Regards, Mark.
