Request {request_id} not found

Error message

Request {request_id} not found

What it means

repeat_request() first fetches the stored request via get_request_with_client(client, request_id, part='request'). If the lookup returns None or the request's raw payload is None, it raises ValueError('Request {id} not found'). So the id either doesn't exist in Caido or exists but has no raw request bytes.

Solutions

1. Re-list/search requests via the Caido API to obtain current valid ids, then retry with a fresh id.
2. Verify STRIX_CAIDO_URL points at the same Caido instance that holds the history.
3. If history was pruned, re-capture the traffic to regenerate entries.
4. Treat this error as non-retryable for the same id — pick a new id instead of retrying.

# Soft validation: fetch first, replay only when raw exists
result = await get_request_with_client(client, request_id, part="request")
if result is None or result.request.raw is None:
    refresh_ids()  # id is stale; re-enumerate instead of replaying

try:
    resp = await repeat_request(request_id, modifications=mods)
except ValueError as exc:
    if f"Request {request_id} not found" in str(exc):
        ids = await search_requests(...)  # re-enumerate and optionally remap the id
        raise  # do NOT retry the same id — it will fail again

When it happens

Trigger: Calling repeat_request with a stale, wrong-scope, or deleted Caido request id; or an id whose entry exists but carries no raw request content (e.g. response-only or pruned history). The failure happens before any parsing or replay.

Common situations: Ids harvested from an earlier session after Caido history was cleared; typos or truncated ids passed by an LLM agent; Caido restarted with non-persistent storage; id from a different Caido instance/port.
