I very much doubt this is a Postman issue.

This will be related to the node.js application or your local firewall settings.

If your operating system is Windows, port 4000 is most likely blocked by Windows as a default, so you will need to allow access.

What happends if you post the URL into a browser window or use curl or another method to hit that endpoint.

Your URL is using http, so no SSL in the mix as far as I can tell.

This is going to be something with your local setup.

What happens if you type the URL into a browser?

Sorry, I don’t know. It will be something with your local setup or the node.js application.

Try sending a GET request to Postman Echo to provide that Postman itself is working.

Hi all,

I had the same problems after updating to the latest version of Postman. The screenshot below illustrates the same behaviour using the web version of Postman:

 ![2025-02-05_09h40_33](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/f/7/f77fb5a6e5912d313522ac2d9cb275bfd273e5b2.png)

The “Cancel” button also does not work. There are no issues using an older version of Postman like the 9.8.3 which I have installed instead of the latest one.

Run Postman as administrator. It worked for me.
