I am trying to run postman in a windows 10 RDP client, and I want to test a node application running on the host computer. The host is a macbook pro and the application is running on localhost:3000 there. I can't simply use https://localhost:3000 in postman, because localhost there is for that machine. Is there a way?

@Marc, yeah, I'm coming to that realization. – Bill Wheaton Feb 10 '22 at 16:27

Why the overhead with the RDP session? Just use postman on the macbook directly. – Marc Feb 10 '22 at 16:44

@Marc - The actual work I have to do is there and finished on the remote machine. It calls a web service elsewhere on our network. But I am blocked atm as it has not been written yet. In my down time, I thought of trying this kind of testing it with a home-grown nodejs restapi I have written locally. I guess I'll have to be patient ;) – Bill Wheaton Feb 10 '22 at 22:14

I am thinking that it might be a big security hole. The more I think about it, the more I see a problem with it. I mean, I can share folders - as you do - but that is pretty controlled. I could well be wrong though
