Postman responds with “Error: aborted message” Could not get a response when a response IS sent

[dellams]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the tracker for existing similar issues and I know that duplicates will be closed

Describe the Issue

Our API use to respond with a “Not logged in” kind of error if they were not authenticated or the JWT token had expired but now we get a Error: aborted message instead (could not get a response).

But the API has not changed and is still responding as Swagger shows so something has changed with Postman?

Please help resolve this ASAP since we were about to do a demo of our API.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
David.

I'm having the same issue. I have custom JWT handlers that throw custom 401 messages. While I'm dubugging, the 401 shows:

However, once I let the application run through, I get the same "Could not get response. Error: aborted"

This worked as late as a week or two ago, and no changes have been made to the application logic.

We are also faced with the same issue. It's failing with using .NET 6 with Kestrel+nginx (same as localhost on Kestrel), but working fine on .NET 6 with IIS.

I checked the response in Fiddler - both responses are reachable there and look pretty the same:

Hello,
Even I am facing the same issue for 204 response(No body). Is there any workaround for this?

Getting the same error...

[shubhbhargav]

@kk-pareek Can you please share the following details to help debug this further:

• Is this consistently reproducible? Does this happen only in certain cases?
• Can you share the steps to reproduce?
• Does the same request work with CURL? If yes, can you share the output of the same? (I did do through a few examples shared before but wasn't able to reproduce it at my end)

Same issue here on version 10.6.0. Works in Insomnia and curl consistently. Trying the same request a couple of times, it works occasionally in Postman, but the Error: aborted pops up most of the time. The developer console shows the following error

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'resetSchema')

in monaco-editor.js:2, but this error is also reported when it works, so I don't think it's related.

My proxy settings are disabled, so it shouldn't be that. Any idea? What can I try?

Edit: oh, I think I've found the solution. Naturally, right after I've posted this comment. In my case, there seem to be some problematic tests (Tests tab underneath the URL). Removing the tests makes it work 100% of the time. Still, there should be a better error message, to indicate problems with the tests. I'll research this further.

See comment below.

@Lisoph Is it possible to share this case as a collection with us for a deeper inspection? You can send this to us at support@postman.com

[haudan]

Ok nevermind, it's not the tests. I've managed to reproduce the error with all tests removed. It must have been dumb luck earlier.

However - it put up a good fight - but I've now managed to make Insomnia fail as well. It gives me an Error: Transferred a partial file. I have the horrible suspicion that this is a bug in our bonehead server. Sounds to me like it closes the connection before it has finished sending all content.

What I can say is: it's a 7 line, very basic HTTP XML POST request. The response on the other hand is 32k lines of XML (874.7 KB). There's no headers, besides the Postman defaults and Content-Type XML. No params, authorization or other things changed besides tests, which don't seem to matter after all.

Maybe the error messages in Postman could be improved? Insomnia's error helps out way more in this case, I would say. Though I'm still in the process of finding a proof for this suspicion. I'll let you know.

[haudan]

I'm back. It's indeed most likely a problem with our server software or network infrastructure. The issue is definitely that the connection is being closed before all content has arrived. Insomnia confirms this very clearly with its Timeline tab. Thus, my case here can be ignored.

For others having the same problem: if you're running custom server software, you might habe a bug in the server. Perhaps other network components could be the cause too (VPN?).

Alright
My problem was solved simply by adding these two annotations.
@JsonIgnoreProperties({"hibernateLazyInitializer", "handler"}) and @JsonIgnore
