title: How to send postman GET request using file url
body: <p>I am trying to send a GET request through <a href="https://www.getpostman.com/" rel="nofollow">postman</a> using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme" rel="nofollow">file URI scheme</a>. An example:</p>
  
  <p><code>
  file:///absolute/path/to/file.txt
  </code></p>
  
  <p>The request works properly in any browser, but <code>postman</code> is failing with message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Could not get any response</strong></p>
    
    <p>This seems to be like an error connecting to <code>file:///absolute/path/to/file.txt</code></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Is there any way to make <code>postman</code> work with file URIs?</p>
