Description

It would be useful as an enhancement to be able to load a Resource directly from the remote config server using a custom resource prefix and perhaps resource loader.

For example suppose you have a truststore file (or some other resource) in your configuration repository) it would be very useful to have a property defined as:

ssl.trustStoreResource=config-server:sslTrustStore.jks

Behind the scenes a resource loader aware of Spring Cloud Config could fetch the resource and return as a ByteArrayResource.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the config-server client and existing Spring Resource-loading entry points. Determine how a custom config-server: prefix could resolve sslTrustStore.jks into a ByteArrayResource, including the supported property behavior and failure cases. Done means the resource-loading design and its expected behavior are defined clearly enough to implement and test.
