Enhancement
Currently there is a way to configure custom RestTemplate for spring config client, but there is not support for reactive application yet. It would be nice to support WebClient in config clients.

Hello,
Two years after this initial post, and the reactive paradigm is getting more and more popular. Would it be possible to resurface this enhancement please? Just politely asking, no rush.
Thank you @ryanjbaxter @spencergibb

I think it is something we should consider for our 2020 release for sure

Many thanks Ryan for your consideration. Spring Cloud Config is getting more and more popular for good reasons.
Some applications have completed the reactive migration, or are fully reactive from the start. Having the app to instantiate and cary a RestTemplate just for Spring Cloud Config is a small limitation.
Hopefully, this issue can be addressed, and we can have reactive apps using a WebClients instead while looking forward to fully reactive Spring Cloud Config Clients and Servers.
Thank you @ryanjbaxter
P.S. Your talk with Olga at SpringOne was very interesting! Learned a lot, thanks!
