Could not get any response response when using postman with subdomain

Question

I am using postman to test an API I have  all is good when the request does not contain sub-domain  however when I add a sub-domain to URL I am getting this response      Could not get any response      There was an error connecting to http   subdomain localhost port api       Why this might have happened       The server couldn t send a response Ensure that the backend is working   properly      Self-signed SSL certificates are being blocked Fix this by turning off    SSL certificate verification  in Settings   General      Proxy configured incorrectly Ensure that proxy is configured correctly   in Settings   Proxy      Request timeout Change request timeout in Settings   General   If I copy the same URL from postman and paste it into the browser I get a proper response  is there some kind of configurations I should do to make postman work with sub-domains

We got this confusing error when a user accidentally copy/pasted a leading space character in an environment variable used to build the URL:

Example:

The request's URL was set to: http://{URL}/blah

The {URL} environment variable had a value of " hostname" (**notice the leading space character**)

This caused Postman to try to access http:// hostname/blah which gave this error message.

For me what worked was to add 127 0 0 1    subdomain localhost to my host file  On OSX that was  etc hosts  Not sure why that was necessary as I could reach the subdomain from chrome

I got the same  Could not get any response  issue because of wrong parameter in header  I fixed it by removing parameter HOST out of header    PS  Unfortunately  I was pushed to install the other software to get this information  It should be great to get this error message from Postman instead of getting general nonsense

For me it was the http   localhost instead of https   localhost

User · Answer

None of these solutions works for me  Postman is not sending any request to the server because postman is not finding the host  So  if you modify your  etc hosts to 127 0 0 1 localhost 127 0 0 1 subdomain localhost  It works for me

In my case  The issue was that for UAT environment  API URL will start with Http instead of https  Also  the backend assigns different ports for both Http and https   for example    http   10 12 12 31 2001 api example   - is correct for me  https   10 12 12 31 2002 api example   - is wrong for me  Because I was using https and 2002 port for hitting the UAT environment  So I am getting could not get any response error in postman

The solution for me  as I m using the deprecated Postman extension for Chrome  to solve this issue I had to    Call some GET request using the Chrome Browser itself  Wait for the error page  Your connection is not private  to appear  Click on ADVANCED and then proceed to  url   unsafe  link    After this  requests through the extension itself should work

You mentioned you are using a CER certificate     According to the Postman page on certificates   Choose your client certificate file in the CRT file field  Currently  we only support the CRT format  Support for other formats  like PFX  will come soon   The name of the extension CER  CRT doesn t make the certificate that type of certificate but  these are the excepted extensions names   CER is an X 509 certificate in binary form  DER encoded   CRT is a binary X 509 certificate  encapsulated in text  base-64  encoding   You can use OpenSSL to change a CER file into a CRT file   I have not had good luck with it but it looks like this      openssl x509 -inform PEM -in certificate cer -out certificate crt   or     openssl x509 -inform DER -in certificate cer -out certificate crt
