Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the clipboard-image upload failure on macOS with the Requestly Desktop proxy enabled and disabled, using Gmail and Slack as described. Done means clipboard screenshots upload as viewable images in both services while the proxy is running.

Description

issue stale type:bug
Describe your issue?

When the desktop proxy is running, you can't upload images that are from your clipboard. For example, pasting an image from the clipboard to Gmail compose window returns a 200OK for https://mail.google.com/_/upload. If you have Requestly running though, Google returns a 400 Bad Request. Same issue for Slack.

Repro steps
  1. Open Requestly Desktop on Mac OS.
  2. Take a screenshot and capture in clipboard with a tool like Monosnap.
  3. Paste the image into Gmail or Slack.
  4. You'll get an error or a binary file is uploaded that can't be viewed.
  5. Close the Requestly app.
  6. Paste the image into Gmail or Slack again.
  7. Now the image uploads as it should.
