Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched existing issues and this bug hasn't been reported yet

Current behavior

When enabling proxy interceptor on the desktop app (on Windows/MacOS (maybe Linux)), all requests fail, with the error Proxy request failed

Steps to reproduce

Open desktop app
Enable proxy interceptor
Send a request
It fails with "Proxy request failed"

Logs and Screenshots

Environment

Production

Hoppscotch Version

Cloud

Interceptor

Proxy - Desktop App

Browsers Affected

Not applicable (Desktop app)

Operating System

None

Additional Information

I tried to reproduce the bug with my self-hosted proxyscotch, and I found that when the error "Proxy request failed" is returned by the proxy, there are no logs emitted by the server and the only case where that can happen is when the Origin header doesn't match allowed origins. By default, all origins are allowed so that would mean that the Origin header is never sent by the app.

I get the same error. Looking at the request from the desktop app shows that desktop app is only setting referrer header and no origin header.
