The problem with Snap and any other solution that directly opens the
Manager API to client workstations is that it opens a rather huge
security issue. Using the Manager API you are able to completely control
the Asterisk server (up to the UNIX level, even root access if Asterisk
is running under root). This may be ok for smaller closed groups with
fully trusted users, but it certainly is not a solution for the paranoid.
A better way to handle this is a server that connects to the Manager API
and only passes the relevant information to the clients.
