JMX - Copy actions on an operation don't work if Hawtio is accessed at a host other than localhost

[tadayosi]

If Hawtio is accessed at 0.0.0.0:8080 for instance instead of localhost:8080, Copy method name and Copy Jolokia URL actions provided by the Operations tab don't work as follows:

It is because navigator.clipboard.writeText works only under https unless it's localhost.

Should we find some way to get around with the limitation or keep it as is honouring the security consideration done at navigator.clipboard.writeText? If we keep it as is, we can disable the menus when the console is on http and not localhost.

My preference would be to disable the menus and maybe put up a toast that notifies the user that the connection is not secure.

Showing a warning notification with instruction on why it didn't work sounds like a good solution.
