32 bit windows compatibility for binaries?

[warrenjessica391]

mitmweb proxy and dump binaries do not start on windows 32 bit systems.

can binaries be built for 32 bit. would also run on 64 bit windows.

no need for 2 builds as 64 bit windows also supports 32 bit applications default. I confirm versions 4.0.4 binaries are working flawlessly
on 64 bit and 32 bit machines.

This would help architecture compatibility.

Hi there! 😃

Could I ask what your specific use case for a 32 bit binary is? For "niche" platforms, my default recommendation would be to install mitmproxy from PyPI, see https://docs.mitmproxy.org/stable/overview-installation/#installation-from-the-python-package-index-pypi. That should also work fine on 32 bit.

Only providing 32bit executables will not work unfortunately - we have plenty of users that process very large flow collections in memory, which requires >4GB of memory. So we'd need to provide both x86 and x64 binaries. That's technically possible, but introduces additional complexity into our release pipeline I'd like to avoid if possible. :)
