All API calls through Postman Failing

For some reason, all my requests going through Postman are failing and have been for a few days. I double checked the secret and the title data (which were both working up until last week).

Does there seem to be any problem here?

There's no reason I know of from the service side. I make calls all day with Postman - it's one of my favorite tools. And your title (3D4F) is fine, as I tried a few calls to it myself. Can you try this from another machine? If you get the same results, can you get a Wireshark or Netmon capture of the attempt?

I have the same problem with the new Postman for Windows app, but the Chrome app works fine.

Any chance you could get us a Wireshark or Netmon capture?

Just tested this and I can confirm the same happens to me. Works on Postman Chrome, but not on Postman Desktop.

I'll get a capture tonight and let you know.

Unfortunately, the capture we received didn't really shed any light on this. Given that in all cases, the calls to the PlayFab service work fine in Postman Chrome, the issue appears to be specific to the Postman packaged apps. In that case, I would have to recommend working with Postmanlabs to attempt to debug the issue with their app. There's actually a fairly extensive thread on this very topic here: https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/712.

I'd recommend enabling their developer tools (http://blog.getpostman.com/2014/01/27/enabling-chrome-developer-tools-inside-postman/) and reviewing the output from the Collection Runner, as described in this post: https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/712#issuecomment-54583738.

Could this be related requests needing to be/being Gzipped?

In the Postman dev console I'm getting

Error:incorrect header check

A few searches have yielded results dealing with Gzip being the problem.

It seems to work fine in Postman for Windows 4.7.1.
