All of my APIs are unreachable through Postman all of a sudden. I setup a quick test for the xkcd.com public api (http://xkcd.com/info.0.json) and I get the same thing. Console shows Error: ESOCKETTIMEDOUT. Bringing up that xkcd.com in a browser works fine so I donāt believe itās a network issue. Postman version is Version 7.8.0.
Note the odd āThere was an error connecting to .ā
Could not get any response
There was an error connecting to .
Why this might have happened:
The server couldnāt send a response:
Ensure that the backend is working properly
Self-signed SSL certificates are being blocked:
Fix this by turning off āSSL certificate verificationā in Settings > General
Proxy configured incorrectly
Ensure that proxy is configured correctly in Settings > Proxy
Hi @steve4@bipinkrishna15 - I was able to access the public API and would recommend you check if the proxy settings are configured rightly. Below is the screenshot for reference:
It was an intermediate certificate error. Chrome, Firefox and Edge all indicated the certificate was fine, but when I tried curl from a command prompt it gave a warning about a bad certificate chain. Iām guessing Postman is built off of curl so that was the reason. I reissued the certificate and reinstalled the intermediate certificates and the problem was solved.
