Description
Allow custom handlers to return functions metadata.
Proposal:
Add a `functionsMetadataRoute` (or something) to the custom handlers config in host.json:
```json
{
"version": "2.0",
"customHandler": {
"description": {
"defaultExecutablePath": "./Handler",
"functionsMetadataRoute": "/functionsmetadata"
}
}
}
```
If the property is specified, instead of indexing functions from the filesystem, make an HTTP GET request to the specified route on the custom handler to retrieve metadata.
@surgupta-msft @fabiocav any thoughts?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the custom-handler configuration and the existing filesystem-based function indexing path. Then trace how a configured GET route could return functions metadata, and define completion as successfully indexing functions from that response instead of the filesystem; no file or test is named in the issue.
