Description
There's currently [no way to extend the system certificates](https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/extending-system-certificates/114/) for strict snaps. To cater for SSL-terminating proxies, we need to import `/etc/ssl` and `/usr/share/ca-certificates` from the host system.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the snap-related implementation and the host certificate locations named in the issue: /etc/ssl and /usr/share/ca-certificates. Determine how those paths should be imported for strict snaps and verify that certificates from the host support SSL-terminating proxies.
