Add a new TCP module that acts as an HTTP forward proxy, capturing full request/response pairs and storing them as http-dump events. Supports HTTPS via MITM with in-memory CA certificates. Clients only need InsecureSkipVerify — no CA install required.

What
Adds a new HTTP forward proxy module (
modules/proxy/) that intercepts HTTP/HTTPS traffic, forwards it to the real destination, and captures full request + response pairs ashttp-dumpevents with additionalproxy: true,duration_ms, andresponsefields.Why
Enables language-agnostic HTTP traffic debugging — any HTTP client in any language can set Buggregator as its proxy to see all outgoing requests and their responses in the UI.
How
