No it's not, it only works on ipv6 now.

Thanks for pointing that out! My ISP, (Orange Belgium), does not support IPv6 yet!

I see them less and less. Recently an acquaintance got hearing aids and when asked about the T functionality (to listen to induction loops) they didn't even know about it.

Meanwhile some ISPs are still not offering IPv6, such as Orange Belgium.

Imagine all the major companies now unable to debug or test API's. We are probably talking about millions of dollars in lost productivity.

What are some good alternatives? Postman is kind of bloated anyways.

The most absurd limitation in Postman is a limit on how many times your team can run a collection. Locally, on their machine.

Let that sink in: on YOUR LOCAL machine.

I believe one of the selling points are the shared collections. So you have all the secrets and endpoints and whatever in collections that you share amongst a team. Now, noone has access to any of this and the hassle to set this up locally is way worse than you would think. Specially in large organisations.

So yeah, there are probably several companies looking for alternatives right now :)

What we really need is a community-driven alternative without lock-in. Many other use cases are covered by great FOSS products, but somehow API clients are abused as a sync cash cow:

- insomnia deliberately broke a 3rd party sync: https://github.com/acheong08/obi-sync

- I could go on

I've been using Bruno lately. It can use any directory as a collection, and I use git repos with my team to sync collections.
