To note: I tested with Postman, it works fine. Should be able to work with Postwoman too.

Enable proxy (setting > proxy) to access non-https endpoints.

Alternatively you can install Browser extension to fix this issue.

PW being a web app, hosted on secured HTTPS layer, you've to enable proxy to access non-https endpoints.
