hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: Hindsight plugin doesn't bypass SOCK5 proxy even if the config.json directs to localhost/127.0.0.1 [1 pull requests]

Bug Description

I don't know if it's a bug, but Hindsight plugin doesn't bypass proxy settings in powershell 7 while connecting to localhost or 127.0.0.1

Steps to Reproduce

start proxy and set envs in powershell 7

$env:HTTP_PROXY = "http://127.0.0.1:1099" $env:HTTPS_PROXY = "http://127.0.0.1:1099" $env:ALL_PROXY = "socks5://127.0.0.1:1099"

and start hermes with Hindsight running in localhost.

Expected Behavior

even with proxy env settings, the plugin should bypass localhost / 127.0.0.1

Actual Behavior

it reports 50X errors. I've tried asking hermes to connect to Hindsight directly using python script and it worked.
