postman

I am trying to figure out how to do a trace request in postman. The available requests don't have an option to do a trace. Is there a way to currently turn that on?

How do I trace a Postman request?

You can right click on the main Postman window > Inspect element. In the Network tab, you'll be able to see the request when you click the Send button. Clicking on the request in the Network tab will show you the response payload.

How do I trace http request?

Right-click on a request, and the option should show up in the contextual menu. Send the resulting trace log file to support.

Postman doesn't currently give you the ability to do this through the UI but as an alternative, you could use https://insomnia.rest/ which allows you to add a custom method to the normal list of verbs.

I've added the TRACE verb and tried to send a request to Google which returns a 405 status code.

Example

Edit:

The latest version of Postman gives you the ability to set your own custom headers.
