I had created my request in Postman by using Chrome’s “copy as cURL (bash)” and then using the import feature in Postman. It would work if I used “raw” as the body content, but whenever I tried to send the exact same body content but as form-data or x-www-form-urlencoded instead, I would get unexpected results. I was trying to get a simple POST request to work, which I had imported from Chrome. Pretty much exactly what the heading says.

See screenshot below (click for larger version):Īlternatively, if you are feeling lazy and want an even faster route, launch a Windows Command Line window with Administrator rights and run this command: setx -m POSTMAN_DISABLE_GPU "true" A POST request was working with the body set as “raw”, but not with the body set to “x-www-form-urlencoded” or anything else The problem: This is a known issue with how Postman uses certain GPUs, and you just need to set a global system environmental variable that tells Postman to avoid using the GPU.
I assumed this would be complicated to fix, but actually it is very simple. However, today it started its normal glitching out when trying to launch, but then seemed to never load and basically crashed. At first Postman would just take an incredibly long time to launch, and would flash a bunch and hang for a while until it finally loaded. This problem actually started a while ago for me (at least how I remember it), but seems to have gotten progressively worse. In no particular order: Postman refuses to load on Windows / crashes / GUI screen flashes white and black / glitches out The problem: I thought I would jot down what I ran into, some of which is my own fault, and some is partly due to how Postman is designed. In general I am a fan, and have been for some time now, but today I have been running into a seemingly endless supply of roadblocks trying to get something simple working. They call their tool a “API Development Environment”, and if you deal at all with APIs and/or endpoints like webhooks, you should check them out. Postman is my go-to tool for testing a new API, replaying HTTP requests, and general mucking about with network requests.
