Description
It would be great to allow JOSM users to define several API connections to different servers and use them to download or upload data.
Currently, I'm switching many times a day between official OSM API address and my private one in preference screen, which is not so convenient.
Because of the cache problem, see #8933, flushing the cache directory is needed when validating service with new capabilities.
Letting users set a list of connections with associated credentials and auth method (which can depend on the targeted service) would result in a selection on the fly of the service to use on both download and upload screens.
The main point isn't to allow data sharing between services but it can ease it since we can download a data layer from service A and then upload the modifications to the service B.
Let me know if it's a good idea or not :)
