Research direction

Start with the Microsoft.WinGet.Source PowerShell module and its current AZ PowerShell connection path. Identify how a caller can provide a REST URL and the secrets required by the management endpoints; done means manifests can be managed through the URL without depending on the deployment infrastructure.

Description

Issue-Feature
Description of the new feature / enhancement

The Microsoft.WinGetSource PowerShell module currently connects using the AZ PowerShell module to validate resources exist and to retrieve connection information.

The module should also support connecting to the URLs regardless of the infrastructure the REST source is deployed to. This issue will add the ability to target the URL to manage manifests.

The user would need to be able to provide the URL, and the secret(s) necessary to work with the management REST endpoints.
