Windows version of Postman, corporate proxy, and localhost

With the windows version of postman (not the chrome app version) and some corporate auto-proxy setups, requests to localhost may result in “Your requested host “localhost” could not be resolved by DNS.”

Which was a real head scratcher, and google let me down.

The solution is an environment variable
NO_PROXY = localhost

Thanks to some friends of friends, my 8 hours of cursing came to an end.
