[AccessLogs] Not available on Windows

[notatallshaw]

Describe the bug

Using proxy.py 2.4.0 on Python 3.10 I do not see access log output on Windows 10 21H2, where as I do on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install proxy.py
2. Run "proxy"
3. Run a test connection via the proxy
4. No additional output to stdout is created

Expected behavior Expect to see access logs, such as on Ubuntu where I see the following:

2022-02-12 15:46:22,281 - pid:114 [I] server.access_log:384 - 127.0.0.1:36976 - GET google.com:80/ - 301 Moved Permanently - 528 bytes - 50.37ms

Version information

• OS: Windows 10 21H2
• proxy.py 2.4.0

Additional Notes

I notices looking through the latest release there was a big reworking that was supposed to fix access logs https://github.com/abhinavsingh/proxy.py/issues/473 . Perhaps I am misreading this and this work has not been applied to Windows yet?

Hi @notatallshaw Thanks for reporting this. I think something keeps changing between Python versions and it breaks multiprocessing based log handlers. For now you can simply write a plugin and print() from within on_access_log method to get the desired result. I'll check into this on a Windows system.

Thanks I'll do that, also if I get a bit of time I'll see if I can take a look myself. I remember facing similar issues myself in multi thread/proc environments.
