What is the origin of a URL request

🗣 General Discussion
1

Hallo,
when using the WEB version i assume that a URL request is actually being fired from your server and not from my PC since the adresse is a part of the packet constructed.

How is it with the Desktop version? Can i assume that the whole packet go through your server and then it is kicked from there?

Best Regards
Torben

I just ran a quick test - but when I make an API call from the Postman application - the app just connects to the api and gets the response - there is no proxy through the Postman server).
This is the screenshot form Charles Proxy showing that the connection to ws.api.video (and the 200 response).

There is no connection to any postman domain.

Here’s the same in the Postman console. Clearly there are some postman specific headers sent, but it is all just between your computer and the API.
