Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce the reported paths using localhost.proxyman.io and the computer’s IP from the phone, comparing them with requests to other websites, which are captured normally. Done means the capture behavior is identified and either resolved or documented as a limitation.

Description

question

Localhost requests can’t be captured — on the computer I have to use localhost.proxyman.io, but that doesn’t work from the phone. When the phone accesses the service via the computer’s IP it still doesn’t go through Proxyman, although requests to other websites are captured normally.
