Error: SSL connect error on Insomnia when trying to make a localhost request

Question

Usually when creating a BaseUrl in Environments or defining the request url to test the API the developer ends up forgetting and putting Https: // instead of putting Http: // for a local test. So the SSL connect error happens, just set to http and test.

Look the https://www.gitmemory.com/issue/Kong/insomnia/1986/607221062

"I had this with an Nginx server, I found that adding ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 to the vhost config made it work. Previously I only had ssl_protocols TLSv1.3, I'm guessing that Insomnia doesn't support TLSv1.3."
