I am new to postman and I tried to send following post request: localhost:8080/rest/auth/1/session {“username”: “[shahg72818@gmail.com](mailto:shahg72818@gmail.com)”, “password”: “tarishah1993”} (//sent body) “Content-Type”,“application/json”, (//header) I am getting following error. “Could not get any response There was an error connecting to [http://localhost:8080/rest/auth/1/session](http://localhost:8080/rest/auth/1/session)”. in postman under error log I am getting following: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8080 Warning: This request did not get sent completely and might not have all the required system headers Why this might have happened: I have turn off “SSL certificate verification” in postman setting. Checked with my service provider to confirm 8080 port is open for my machine Tried to disable firewall But still can not run this post request. further more I opened chrome and paste this request direct their but got error message: “this site can not be open”. Someone told me might be my server is not running but not sure how to check this. Any help will be really appreciated, as I mentioned at start I am new into field and trying to learn. Thanks everyone in advance for your help and reply ![Jira API- Postman](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/1/a/1ad157e0521653741e94e899729ec9a3913ffa64.jpeg) ![Jira API_ error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/3/6/365b5c4a843778fe38e8d79f4c0b6295acf51106.jpeg) ---

Hi @Tarishah Welcome to the community 👋 This issue primarily appears to be due to the proxy settings as the endpoint you are trying to access isn’t publicly accessible. Check if you are receiving the same issue for other requests as an example: Try sending the request - [https://www.postman-echo.com/get](https://www.postman-echo.com/get) If you receive a successful response then, try changing the proxy settings and see if that helps. Here is the [screen-record for your reference](https://youtu.be/XvyTOiCoi6o) on the same. Hope this helps! 🙂 ---

i am facing the below mentioned issue while executing [ASP.Net](http://ASP.Net) ( POST method ) via POSTMAN 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_ ---

After update Postman I can not reach any server. So After days of figuring what was the problem I switch to Insomnia. Spare your time.
