bug with -output option (windows)

[badrelmers]

Proxify version:

v0.0.9

Current Behavior:

-output should dump all the traffic into separate files with request followed by the response
but when I run

proxify.exe -http-addr 127.0.0.1:18080  -output logss

I get empty files

and a folder is created in %TEMP% (D:\Users\badr\AppData\Local\Temp) every time I start proxify, but those folders do not get deleted when I kill proxify

Expected Behavior:

-output should dump all the traffic into separate files with request followed by the response not empty files

and proxify should gave us a flag to control the location of the folders created in %TEMP% or at least delete those folders when proxify exit.

all this happens in win 7 64

I can confirm I am having the same issue running on Windows 11 with traffic being sent to proxy from Chromium 114.0.5735.110.
This happens when I leave the default output directory to .\logs or I change it.

Another interesting finding is if I curl -x http://127.0.0.1:8888 google.com then I get the correct output, so I'm thinking maybe it is something with browsers.

I then tested with:
Chrome 114.0.5735.199: Same issue
Firefox 115.0.2: Works as expected!!

So maybe it has something to do with Chrome? Chrome to my knowledge doesn't have a built in proxy engine and uses the systems proxy settings so maybe that has something to do with it?

Hope this information helps.
