ECONNREFUSED Error

[sv-du]

Describe the issue

I keep trying to send a GET request to an api, but it keeps on returning the following error
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:80

Example Code

Code snippet to illustrate your question

client.getIdFromUsername = async function(username) {
    const axios = require('axios').default;
    let id;
    try {
        let res = await axios({
            url: `PRIVATE_API/users/get-by-username?username=${username}`,
            method: "GET"
        });
        id = res.data.Id;
    } catch(err) {
        return err;
    }
    return id;
}

Expected behavior, if applicable

It sends the request successfully and returns the user ID of the username

Environment

• Axios Version [0.21.1]
• Node.js Version [15.7.0]
• OS: [Windows 10]

I'm having the same issue, please reopen this.

Im indirectly using axios@0.21.1 (start-server-and-test -> wait-on -> axios@0.21.1) and the port is being set via the url param as http://localhost:8080 (scroll all the way down to see the params provided to axios) and axios is throwing this error:

In our setup, using Docker, localhost doesn’t work for us.
Instead, you can use the container name for nginx as a solution

await axios.get('http://nginx/api/v1');
