Provide a URL translator callback.

[yogurtearl]

If the foojay disco API returns something like this in the JSON response: https://cdn.azul.com/zulu/bin/zulu11.56.19-ca-fx-jdk11.0.15-macosx_x64.dmg
I may need to translate that to https://internal-proxy.mycorp.com/azul-cdn/zulu/bin/zulu11.56.19-ca-fx-jdk11.0.15-macosx_x64.dmg before gradle tries to use that URI.

Please provide a plugin extenstion API that will allow me to add my own translation

Something like this:

foojayToolchains {
    translateDownloadUri { uri: URI -> 
         // custom logic for translating to https://internal-proxy.mycorp.com/
         return translatedUri
    } 
}

@yogurtearl one thing you could do to have the functionality you describe is to just reuse the logic from FoojayApi.toUri() (it's at GAV coordinates org.gradle.toolchains:foojay-resolver:0.1 in the https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/ Maven repo) and then, based on that write your own Toolchain Resolver Plugin, which would add the URI translation you need.

I don't think we would implement the translation capability ourselves at the moment (primarily due to lack of resources). Even if we would, I think it would end up as a generic toolchain auto-provisioning feature and not specific to the Foojay resolver plugin. So, if you feel very strongly about it, then pls. file an issue on gradle/gradle.
