Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

There's no way to specify a token for proxyscotch.
So I get response:

(Proxy Error) Unauthorized request; you may need to set your access token in Settings.

Steps to reproduce

Setup a proxyscotch instance by proxyscotch-server-* --host 0.0.0.0:9159 --token 123456
Connect hoppscotch to the instance by specifying the PROXY URL as 'http://localhost:9159'
Call any API from hoppscotch.

Environment

Production

Version

Self-hosted

Hi all, I checked proxyscotch code and I think it may be 'AccessToken' parameter in source code(proxyscotch/libproxy/proxy.go).
But there is no token or accesstoken parameter in .env. So is there any way to specify proxyscotch token on hoppscotch side, in settings page or other config file? Wish hoppscotch readme documents can add 'how to set proxyscotch token part'.

@zhzy0077 @liucent
If you're selfhosting, the easiest way I found was to add
accessToken the payload object in packages/hoppscotch-app/src/helpers/strategies/AxiosStrategy.ts here:

github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch@6e7d28db7b/packages/hoppscotch-app/src/helpers/strategies/AxiosStrategy.ts (L31)

so it will look like this:

let payload: ProxyPayloadType = {
    ...req,
    wantsBinary: true,
    accessToken: "MyVerySecureToken",
  }

And that will fill in the token to this struct:
github.com/hoppscotch/proxyscotch@2e94def1c2/libproxy/proxy.go (L30)

Which will get set when the request body is decoded here:
github.com/hoppscotch/proxyscotch@2e94def1c2/libproxy/proxy.go (L206)

I'm sure there's some way to add it into here: github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch@6e7d28db7b/packages/hoppscotch-app/src/helpers/strategies/AxiosStrategy.ts (L16)

If I could figure that out I would've submitted a PR so it gets set from an environment variable, but I don't know typescript and wasn't about to go down that rabbit hole.

Hope this helps.
