You can get Postman as a Chrome extension, or download the app here. Postman is a complete toolchain for API development. Comparing their answers, we arrived at these #Top 3: 1. In writing this post, I asked the Ubidots Development Team which tools for generating HTTP requests are most commonly used on a daily basis. Nevertheless, as the most common HTTP request tools, we felt best to give an overview before getting more specific. But they’re not necessarily the best – they’re limited to basic HTTP requests and so cannot run scripts, generate reports, or create web socket connections. The most common type is online request tools, which are easy to use and produce a clean output. It’s important to note that there’s a wide variety of tools out there for generating HTTP responses, including: There are hundreds of tools available for generating HTTP requests, but this guide will focus on the top 3 we’ve found to be the most reliable. I don't mind the approach until they solve the issueLearn More Tools to Simulate HTTP Requests Spent hours trying to figure out why it didn't work on postman. I was facing the same, and this worked for me.

This will ensure that Postman connects to the WebSocket server running on your WSL instance instead of the one running on your Windows machine. Now, when you want to connect to the WebSocket server running on your WSL instance using Postman, you can use the new IP address 192.168.99.2 instead of localhost. This command creates a new interface named 'vEthernet (WSL)' and assigns it the IP address 192.168.99.1. You can do this by running the command netsh interface ip add address 'vEthernet (WSL)' 192.168.99.1 255.255.255.0 in a Windows Command Prompt or PowerShell window. Next, you need to create a new interface in Windows to connect to this new IP address. This command creates a new IP address 192.168.99.2 for your WSL instance. To solve this problem, you can create a new IP address for your WSL instance by running the command sudo ip addr add 192.168.99.2/24 broadcast 192.168.99.255 dev eth0 label eth0:1 in your WSL terminal. This means that when you try to connect to a WebSocket server running on your WSL instance using localhost, Postman actually tries to connect to the WebSocket server running on your Windows machine instead of the one running on WSL. When using Postman to connect to a WebSocket server, Postman resolves the hostname localhost to the IP address 127.0.0.1 by default. This IP will change on a restart of WSL or the PC. To find your WSL IP you should be able to run wsl hostname -I assuming your are running your websocket server from your default distro. Postman can successfully send plain HTTP requests to WSL with the URL set to localhost Screenshots or Videos If using the IP of wsl the connection is successful and messages are received: Messages sent from wscat from within wsl:Īttempting to connect to the same server with postman running in windows results in a connection error if using localhost: Server ( ) Ĭonnect to the websocket server in a browser running in windows with the native WebSocket client (example in chrome) and messages are received:

Const WebSocket = require ( 'ws' ) const wss = new WebSocket.
