Any of you #python web client guru types out there, I got this weird problem.
I have some code that makes a request to a flask server (API); it generates a POST containing a apikey (password) and a mac address. You can think of these a user/password credentials set.
Before you start yelling at me about security, this login is used only to obtain a token of the usual sort, after which time all POST operations to the API are accompanied by the token.
The only thing is, it never gets that far.
No message ever appears on the flask server console concerning the request; and I get a 111 Connection Refused message on the client console. I also get a reason: "Too many connection attempts for this URL".
Thing is, this is code that has run in production unchanged for a couple of years. The salient change: A full debian upgrade.
Now mind you, this code runs in a python environment, with a very specific python version (3.7.3) and a very specific set of dependencies.
Anybody got any ideas?
