title: intra python flask server REST call
body: <p>I am trying to call a flask POST API from within another POST API.</p>
  
  <p><strong>It simply hangs there. I am using 'requests'.</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>nsr = requests.post('http://&lt;public_ip&gt;:8000/auto_infer/ns', json = json_data)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The API call runs from python console.. I am sure I am missing some conf or something. </p>
