Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/3764

Originally assigned to: @AndrewBastin on GitHub.

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

When Proxy middleware is enabled, it is not able to send enpoints with localhost resulting a window with "Could not send request". The users has to choose "None" or "Browser extension" to be able to send to the localhost.

The feature request is Hoppscotch to automatic detect this and temporary disable the Proxy for allowing testing on localhost with the Proxy enabled. Users shall not need disable the Proxy settings and enable again.

Why should this be worked on?

Better utilization of the Proxy
Users wouldn't be confused

@liyasthomas It is the same for "alpha release candidate desktop" one, not able to send on localhost without choosing to native

This is an expected behaviour. You should set the interceptor to Native on desktop app or Browser Extension on web app.

I'd recommend you to use desktop app with Native interceptor since it support both locally hosted and deployed APIs.

@liyasthomas commented on GitHub (Jan 19, 2024): This is an expected behaviour. You should set the interceptor to **Native** on desktop app or **Browser Extension** on web app. I'd recommend you to use desktop app with **Native** interceptor since it support both locally hosted and deployed APIs.

A somewhat related issue I have is with requests to local endpoints which have hostnames (ie: mappings defined in /etc/hosts). Our setup needs requires hostnames for SSL, so we use Nginx to reverse proxy our requests to the respected services. It works in the browser (or PWA) with the extension, but it would be nice if it also worked natively, especially since cookie support is limited to the native application.

I'd recommend you to use desktop app with Native interceptor since it support both locally hosted and deployed APIs.

So on the desktop version, to test a request running on localhost, you should be able to have Native interceptor selected and it should run?

I'm on Windows v2023.12.4 and I have a simple GET request to an API running on localhost. Native Interceptor selected. I get "Could not send request".

@ash-eng-spin if you are running into this issue, please do open a new issue for this as it is unrelated to the issue mentioned here along with some steps for reproduction if possible.
