Request classic confinement for fhttp

[emitorino]

Hey @Leopard2A5,

@Leopard2A5

read any file the user chooses (if they have read access), which may be outside their home directory.

There are other interfaces you could plug which give you accesses to other locations rather than home. Have you explore them already and can confirm are not enough? You could use snappy-debug which will recommend interfaces based on your snap behavior. Feel free to share here some use cases and we can help you as well. BTW, I read fhttp was inspired by tools like Postman and Insomnia. Both of them are available as strictly confined snaps

@Leopard2A5

Also, pass is not my software and I don’t want to ship it. Besides that, users will either already have pass installed, or not need it at all.

We understand that but if you check our process for granting classic confinement, the need of a dependent software running on the host also does not follow under the supported categories for granting classic. We encourage you to ship it instead.

Please remember that classic confinement snaps run without restrictions, meaning it effectively grants device ownership to the snap. That’s why we encourage snap developers to stay under strict confinement and therefore enjoy all the benefits of a stable runtime environment.
