POSTMAN returns error: BAD_ENCODING

Open Wasya opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

The postman's request which was workable yesterday now returns this strange not described error:

Could not send request Error: BAD_ENCODING

Nothing was changed in request and on servers part of code. Could someone say what is it? Headers and body does not contains any not latinian chars.

"Accept-Charset" in headers contains "UTF-8"

expected behavior is as usual returning responses codes 2xx - 5xx

error1

@Wasya could you open the console and check out the error there?

@vvs11 Unfortunately the Log console does not shows any usable info for this case: error2

Hi all! I found temporally solution to avid this big problem: Simply instead actual POSTMAN version 7.27.1 i've installed v. 7.22.1 and functionality returned. I think we can state that the problem was came with newest postman's update

Having the same problem in recent versions: wrote some requests a few months ago which are now failing with "BAD_ENCODING" without any changes. Seems to affect only requests where a certificate is used. Requests with a certificate work in 7.22.1

edit: If relevant, the certificate is a .p12 PFX file with passphrase

I had the same issue today. I setup a client certificate (PFX file) with passphrase (which works in other tools). The Console showed BAD_ENCODING. (Postman 9.13.0 used)

I have the same issue today, setup a client certificate (PFX file) with passphrase (which works in other tools as SOAP UI). The Console showed BAD_ENCODING. (Postman v10.21.11 used)

Now here is a workaround who are facing this problem. They can download Postman's older version from the below link, and then it will work: Postman Download

OR

[postman-portable-win64-7.22.1-35](https://portapps.io/download/postman-portable-win64-7.22.1-35-setup.exe/)
