Terraform CLI and Provider Versions

http provider: v3.4.0

Use Cases or Problem Statement

Documentation states the following:

At present this resource can only retrieve data from URLs that respond with text/* or application/json content types, and expects the result to be UTF-8 encoded regardless of the returned content type header.

This is inaccurate as binary data can now be handled. The response content type is now checked and a warning is raised if the response does not contain UTF-8 encoded data.

Proposal

Modify the statement indicating that "this resource can only retrieve data from URLs that respond with text/* or application/json content types, and expects the result to be UTF-8 encoded regardless of the returned content type header.".

As of version v3.4.0, binary data can be retrieved, and a warning is raised if the response does not contain UTF-8 encoded data.

How much impact is this issue causing?
