remote saml_metadata_document

[ghost]

This issue was originally opened by @tomdavidson as hashicorp/terraform#5848. It was migrated here as a result of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.

---

I would like to reference a remote document over https in creating a aws_iam_saml_provider rather than a local file, something similar to modules' source = "github.com/.... such as:

resource "aws_iam_saml_provider" "default" {
    name = "myprovider"
    saml_metadata_document = "${file("https://domain.local/idp/shibboleth")}"
}

The remote file seems especially relevant in this case - am I overlooking existing functionality?

We have the same use case for SAML IdP. It would help to support xml document as well

It's almost possible using the http provides, were it not for this:

This URL must respond with a 200 OK response and a text/* or application/json Content-Type.

So, it fails if the response has a Content-Type like application/xml or application/samlmetadata+xml. You know, the content types typically used for saml metadata.
