I am trying to run quick-forward-proxy, by invoking the following,

RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --bin solana-lite-rpc-quic-forward-proxy -- --proxy-listen-addr 0.0.0.0:11111

I am getting the following exception,

Updating git repository https://github.com/rpcpool/yellowstone-grpc.git
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.51s
Running target/debug/solana-lite-rpc-quic-forward-proxy --proxy-listen-addr '0.0.0.0:11111'
Error: Cannot find the identity file provided

Caused by:
No such file or directory (os error 2)

Caused by:
No such file or directory (os error 2)

I can read in the documentation that identify file is not a mandatory parameter.

affects core load_identity_keypair

Case 1: no identity

--proxy-listen-addr 0.0.0.0:11111

Case 2: identity from file where path is specified as cli arg

--proxy-listen-addr 0.0.0.0:11111 --identity-keypair some-validator-identity.json

Case 3: Keypair as Json Array on ENV

export IDENTITY="[130,173,80,35,.....]"
