Connection refused via proxy

[sshayb]

Hi all, when running the search via the local Burp proxy on 8080 I am getting [Errno 111] 'Connection refused' - has anybody managed to run gato via proxy successfully?

$ gato -p localhost:8080 search --target sshayb

Hey! Taking a look at this now.

It's been a little while since we've looked at proxying, but should be easy to replicate.

@sshayb Proxying seems to be working for me on the current main branch. Can you confirm that your proxy is behaving as expected?

Something like: curl -x 'http://localhost:8080' 'https://api.github.com/repos/praetorian-inc/gato' should be a quick test.

You are correct, its the connection from my docker that's failing 🤦
