Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/3840

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

I cannot run a simple GET request to localhost. There is a lot of support/information for running against localhost for the web version, but not the desktop version.

I have Native interceptor selected. It's a simple get request that has no body, param, headers, etc. I've also tried selecting Proxy with the same results.

For reference, the same request is running just fine in Postman.

Steps to reproduce

Windows Version v2023.12.5

Create new request
enter URL to endpoint that is known to be running on localhost
click send

Environment

Production

Version

Local

I debugged the application and it turned out to be because of untrusted SSL certificates (self signed). Fixing that resolved the issue for me but it would be nice to have an option to disable SSL validation. I could not find any such options exposed from Tauri's HTTP module.

Thanks for looking in to this! Having an option to disable SSL validation would be nice for sure. It's fairly common feature of API client software.

I also encountered the same problem. The project is deployed in the intranet, and many three-party systems in the intranet use privately signed ssl certificates. Hoppscotch fails directly in the request for an insecure SSL. Tip: unable to send request. It is almost unavailable in the scenario of private SSL certificates.
we need a switch that " ignores SSL security".

#2051 ?

We are talking about desktop app, not installable PWAs. It's a bummer that we'll need to install any sort of extension for a desktop app for something basic like this to work.
