Getting "Error: BAD_ENCODING" in Postman response when try to send request to API endpoint


To debug this I have tried suggestion given by Postbot and troubleshooting link, However none of them work. In this we are also sending client certificate, which is getting matched successfully as shown in console.

In console I see there is no Content-Type header. Can that be the reason?

Request:

POST https://connect2.pointclickcare.com/auth/token

Content-Type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded

grant_type: "client_credentials"

Authorization: Basic *********

Postman Console:

POST https://connect2.pointclickcare.com/auth/token

Error: BAD_ENCODING

▶ Client Certificate   id: "9471b913-084a-4ad7-814e-a70b7bafddbc"
