Getting a response on an httpRequest from objectscript client to Python Server

Question

Question

I am sending an httpRequest from ObjectScript to a python server. I am not receiving a response in OS

OS config On the client side

// Create an HTTP request object
Set httpRequest = ##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()

// Set the server URL
   Set httpRequest.Server = "http://127.0.0.1:8080"

// Set content type to JSON
   Set httpRequest.ContentType = "application/json"

// Clear any existing entity body"{""name"": ""Lowell Buschert"", ""dob"": ""1970-12-09"", ""address"": ""XXXXX""}"
do httpRequest.EntityBody.Clear()
//Set httpRequest.EntityBody = "{""name"": ""Lowell Buschert"", ""dob"": ""1970-12-09"", ""address"": ""XXXXX""}"

Set httpRequest.ContentType = "application/json" // Set the content type to JSON

Set status = httpRequest.Post("/collect_patient_information")

On the server side

When I enter the Server IP into the browser, an form pops up
I enter some data on the form
Enter Patient Information
Name:
lowell buschert

Date of Birth:
1970-12-09

Address:
xxx

SUBMIT

The input is formatted with value pairs into a JSON structure

{""name"": ""Lowell Buschert"", ""dob"": ""1970-12-09"", ""address"": ""xxx""}"
and click on submit

First I'd suggest to change:

Set httpRequest.Server = "http://127.0.0.1:8080"

to:

Set httpRequest.Server = "127.0.0.1"
Set httpRequest.Port = "8080"

I would also check the status after:

Set status = httpRequest.Post("/collect_patient_information")

And then try again.

I set

Set httpRequest.Server = "127.0.0.1"
Set httpRequest.Port = "8080"

Request from OS Set status = httpRequest.Post("/collect_patient_information")

from the server side log

Response 127.0.0.1 - - [25/Feb/2024 10:44:58] "POST /collect_patient_information HTTP/1.1" 200 -

Status on ObjectScript on Response.

To properly display the status use:

Set statusText=$system.Status.GetErrorText(status)

This is kinda related. Is there another term for httpRequest.httpVerb in Intersystems ObjectScript

I have it working. The important thing with flask are the routes which establish a connection between the client and the server. Config on both C and CS contain the same route names.
