Request Comparison: Antigravity Proxy vs CLIProxyAPI

Both requests target the same Google endpoint. This shows the final HTTP request right before it hits Google's servers.

Prompt: "Say hello in exactly 3 words" | Model: gemini-3-flash

Antigravity Proxy (real capture via MITM dump)

HTTP Headers (captured from LS outbound traffic)

POST /v1internal:streamGenerateContent?alt=sse HTTP/1.1
Host: daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com:8742
User-Agent: antigravity/ linux/amd64
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Authorization: Bearer ya29.a0ATkoCc52DtQrIB3lDHOTcea8WI27siK1zlooIkxEwSq-mcfxSKOZ-SnHpb97a8qkuaZwKjXVr96ya2UXlzwGavWNvuWT02e3SFl7bibHh0Gbmypfz1OfnpoS2iUBVyUeXNCOmEDh4ZsJ2pGg6GKX30kYS0x2b1Um31QssBaY42xkxG522Yd1qWo2BFb56i4fOJfHER21vlkptwaCgYKAdsSARESFQHGX2MiFraZEMyr5vPzfYw6nJhUEw0213
Content-Type: application/json
Accept-Encoding: gzip

The Host shows port 8742 because iptables redirected the LS's port-443 traffic to the local MITM proxy. The MITM then forwards to the real daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com:443. The Authorization header is set by the LS binary — the proxy never touches it.

HTTP Body — 1,933 bytes

CLIProxyAPI (reconstructed from source code — not actually sent)

Google bans CLIProxyAPI clients, so this is reconstructed from antigravity_executor.go buildRequest() (line 1248) and geminiToAntigravity() (line 1556).

Key Differences

Aspect	Antigravity Proxy	CLIProxyAPI
URL	Same: `/v1internal:streamGenerateContent?alt=sse`	Same
Auth	LS sets `Bearer` header (auto-refreshed internally)	CLIProxyAPI does own OAuth2 refresh, sets header directly
User-Agent	`antigravity/ linux/amd64` (LS binary default)	`antigravity/1.107.0 linux/x64` (hardcoded)
x-goog-api-client	Not set (LS omits it on HTTP/1.1)	`google-cloud-sdk vscode_cloudshelleditor/0.1`
client-metadata	Not set (LS omits it on HTTP/1.1)	JSON with IDE type/version/platform
Transfer-Encoding	`chunked` (LS streams body)	Not chunked (full body)
Accept-Encoding	`gzip`	Not set
project	LS-generated (`hidef-dub-8cxwt`)	Fetched via `loadCodeAssist` API or random
requestId	`agent/<timestamp>/<cascade-uuid>/<seq>`	`agent-<uuid>`
systemInstruction	MITM strips to `<identity>` block (582 chars)	CLIProxyAPI injects own truncated prompt (~350 chars)
contents	1 user msg (MITM stripped 4 metadata msgs, replaced dummy with real text)	1 user msg (directly from client translation)
tools	Stripped by MITM (or replaced with client tools)	Passed through from client
generationConfig	LS defaults preserved (temp=1, topK=40, topP=1, thinking, stops)	From client/translator (typically minimal)
toolConfig	Removed by MITM (no tools = would cause MALFORMED_FUNCTION_CALL)	`VALIDATED` for Claude, omitted otherwise
TLS fingerprint	Real LS binary TLS — indistinguishable from Antigravity app	Go `net/http` default — easily fingerprinted by Google
