REST and HTTP client gives CloudFront 403 response

Answered

Been trying to use the REST or HTTP client to test some api endpoints, on a localhost server running node express. When I try to use the either client it gives a 400 or 403.

I've tried the following to fix this:

  1. Try a different api.
  2. Change localhost servers  port.
  3. Turn off Apache / reset my hosts file.
  4. Update to latest version of phpStorm

Here are the request headers when I try the phpStorm example and my localhost server. 

GET https://httpbin.org/ip

Do you have PhpStorm installed on a remote machine (AWS)? 

It looks like a networking/DNS issue: machine where PhpStorm is installed is unable to resolve hostnames correctly.

Check that you don't have proxy specified at File | Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | HTTP Proxy.

Thanks I did have a proxy set that I had forgotten about.
