1. Provide device timezone in Alexa requests

   I have created a skill that manages daily routines. When invoked, the skill needs to calculate If a user completed a task on the same day.

   As of now, I'm guessing the timezone by the locale, but this is far from exact.

   Asking for the postal code permission is a deal breaker.

   I'm sure there are a lot of other skills that also would benefit from knowing the timezone.

2. ask-cli should be CI/CD compatible

   At the moment initialising and ask-cli requires a few manual steps to set-up authentication and the connection to AWS.

   This basically renders the ask-cli useless for continuous integration and deployment processes.

   I suggest adding support for the ask-cli to be run with cmd flags and/or environmental variables only. In particular this requires accessing ASK with long lived tokens rather than the current (browser-based) OAuth flow.

3. Verbose error messages

   Error messages at the moment are not verbose enough. Recently I started getting error: "Error occured: INVALID_RESPONSE, An exception occurred while dispatching the request to the skill.". I had to debug it for ages to figure out that the problem was that my response was too big. Couldn't the error tell it? It says when SSML is wrong, but not stuff like this?

   As I said, my idea would be to add more verbose error messages to tell more info what is wrong with the response.

11. ASK-SDK Response HTTPS endpoint support

    For performance issue, AWS lambda is not enough of the performance. Alternatively, We use HTTPS endpoint to integrate with CloudFront.
    current ASK-SDK does not support HTTPS response.
    Now it looks optimized to AWS Lambda.
