I had the same issue. I try to GET https://live.bilibili.com/21403609 with Header: Accept: /
It'll return 200 but nothing in Postwoman's Response area, and I get a TypeError: text.match is not a function.
I tried curl and postman, both works well, so I guess it's postwoman's issue

There's a known issue with the current published version of Postwoman Chrome extension (v. 012). Latest version is under review. To fix the issue - try disabling extension by going to Settings > Extensions (turn off "Use extensions").

Let me know if the issue is fixed.

@liyasthomas The request will be blocked by CORS policy if I turn off extension

can you try turning on Proxy mode (Settings > Proxy)?

@liyasthomas Yes via proxy it works well, the Response shows properly. BTW, I used to think the proxy is socks proxy or http proxy, but I found it's proxywoman
