Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Installed Openwhisk with the [https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/blob/master/tools/ubuntu-setup/README.md]. I could create actions, and execute them by issuing wsk cli commands.
2. Restarted my machine, set the environment variable to ENVIRONMENT=local
3. When i start issuing action requests, I get the error error: Unable to obtain the list of actions for namespace 'default': The connection failed, or timed out. (HTTP status code 404)

Provide the expected results and outputs:

(base) swamiji@28-Nov-2022:bin$ ./wsk action list --insecure
List of actions that I had created in the default namespace

Provide the actual results and outputs:

error: Unable to obtain the list of actions for namespace 'default': The connection failed, or timed out. (HTTP status code 404)

Additional information you deem important:

• This problem was getting resolved if I restarted the computer and tried it again. But this is unreliable, it used to work before. Now it consistently shows the HTTP 404 error for any request to the 'default' namespace.
