Postman HTTPS request to custom port

Question

I'm trying to send a HTTPS GET request to a server on a custom port (not 443) using Postman. My issue is that the request is never done - when watching traffic to that particular IP using Wireshark there's no packets going out. I'm assuming Postman nas a problem with how the URL is specified, which is as follows: https://example.com:9876/api/request. Removing the port, so that the request looks like this: https://example.com/api/request fixes the problem with request not being done - it is sent, but not to the port I need it to be sent - default 443 port.

If I remove the https:// part from the front of the URL: example.com:9876/api/request the reqeust is done on the desired port, but in plain text (no TLS handshake is done).

Is there another way to specify the target port while also specifying that I want to use HTTPS in Postman?

At the current date (September 6th 2017) this is a known bug in Postman.
