Postman can't reach localhost

I am in a corporate env so I have to use a proxy to reach servers. This works well in postman and in browsers. What I can't reach is localhost in postman but I can reach localhost in the browser.

I am running Postman for Linux Version 6.0.9. I have tried reaching localhost:9082/rest/myapi.... and 127.0.0.1:9082/rest/myapi with both global proxy and system proxy turned on and with either turned on and with non turned on. In all cases I am not able to reach localhost.

What I get as an response is an error page from the proxy server! Someway the call gets out on the network instead of being kept on my machine.

The postman console:

My request headers are:

Cache-Control →no-cache
Connection →Keep-Alive
Content-Length →986
Content-Type →text/html; charset=utf-8
Pragma →no-cache
Proxy-Connection →Keep-Alive

My response headers are:

cache-control:"no-cache"
pragma:"no-cache"
content-type:"text/html; charset=utf-8"
proxy-connection:"Keep-Alive"
connection:"Keep-Alive"
content-length:"986"

My response body is an html page.

How can I make a call to localhost work with postman?

I was having similar issue with HTTP calls to local ASP.NET Core Web API apps. Changing the proxy settings didn't fix it for me.

Finally fixed it by turning off File > Settings > General > SSL Certificate Verification

Hope that helps someone out there.

I have the same issue. What works for me is:

Open File -> Settings -> Proxy

Then, enable proxy and put 127.0.0.1 : 80, if your web server runs on 80.

In the git thread, they say it is a known issue, so hopefully it will get resolved soon.

I solved this by Turning off System proxy of Postman.

Open File -> Settings -> Proxy

Then Turn off Use System Proxy

@Menuka Ishan Answer is correct. But in mac only if we change the turn off proxy won't work. You need to turn off the SSL Certificate verification also you need to disable.
